Creativity in Nature

This past weekend, I was once again struck by the beauty and creativity found in nature (as I always am when I spend some time away from the city). This time, I actually took pictures of some of the things I found totally gorgeous...and on one of our hikes, my Dad and I even created a few Andy Goldsworthy-esque nature pieces of our own (actually, this was mostly done by my Dad on his own the day before)...

I hope these shots bring you as much simple, meditative joy as they brought me. Although I don't have any photography skills, it can be fun to play around with a camera and see what comes out--especially when nature is doing all the creative work--you just have to take the picture :)

(P.S. Forgive the obligatory yoga pose in nature shot at the end, had to include it because it made me so happy at the time!)
