This week at Where’s My Backpack? Ailsa asks us to celebrate simplicity. Which, ironically, can be difficult, since we often try to cram as much as possible into a photograph to make it more “interesting”. Though sometimes, just a “thing”, being or doing its thing, is enough.
Like these new pine cones that emerged with spring.
Spring was (literally) in the air.
One fine morning I noticed the sunlight coming through the blinds was having its way with my boyfriend’s guitar pick.
Leave me alone in a room with a sunbeam and a guitar pick, and who knows what could happen.
When you’re out wandering in a nearby field, one ought to pay attention to the picturesque nature of the local fence-postery.
Just another day in central PA.
Even the simplest way to dry laundry has beauty and charm. It helps when that laundry is drying outside a building in Florence, but…
I often imagine what this family would say if they saw me take this picture. “Mom…there’s a lady photographing our underwear…”.
And finally, we have the groovy serenity of a backyard, sunset, and fog rolling in off the nearby creek. Why did this one tree stand out? No idea. I’m just glad it did.
Seriously, I love my back yard.
That’s it for today. Once again, a million thanks to Ailsa for the photo challenge!

Good eye with the guitar pick! I also have a fondness for fence posts (when I’m not the one taking them out or putting them into the ground), and I love the Italian laundry. Nice group of shots!

Thanks! George walked in the room and was like…what? Are you doing? As I had the guitar totally repositioned for a full-on photo shoot… LOL Come to think of it, he said the same thing when I took the picture of laundry. LOL Guess this is proof that I’m the visual one. 🙂

If I were George, I’d be taking a picture of you in whatever strange position you had to get into to take that picture. 🙂
