Great series Irma, I wish I would remember to look for the smaller images instead of the big picture when i shoot... I very rarely remember to take detail shots.
#4 is my pick too.

Thanks Toad, Craig for your comment...
Craig, this might be because your wide landscape is too beautiful. My landscape is boring, so I have to look for details. They change very fast, and there are many...

Hi Dear Irma, there is a lovely Zen touches in these photographs. Especially the first two are my best. In this plainness (is it the exact word, I am not sure, but I hope you can understand what I am trying to say) it stands gorgeous like all Zen poems or Haiku poems. I loved it dear Irma, you captured so nicely,
Thank you,
with my love,
nia

Thanks NT... you are very kind...
Thanks nia...
I really didn't think about working Zen photograpy here, but now that you mention it I have to say that I have been reading and watching videos of John Daido Loori Roshi ....
He was a photographer, and became Zen Master and the abbot of Zen Mountain Monastery in the Catskill Mountains of New York. There is a lot of material in video in internet and he wrote many books about Zen photography... As I have read
The Zen of Creativity: Cultivating Your Artistic Life is one of his best books. Unfortunately what most people complain about many of his book is the poor quality of the print.
