The Beautiful Simplicity of Nature

Today was a lovely day to go frolicking through Seoul.

The morning rain was just heavy enough to make everything smell wonderfully fresh.

b&w2The wind was just strong enough to whisk great oak leaves through the cool, crisp air, before they fluttered ever so softly onto the ground- all fall hues of reds, oranges, yellows, greens, and browns- giving me one more thing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.

Dew drops rested on benches and rain drops perched themselves on pine tree needles.  The sun would peek it’s big, bald, blazing head around clouds every ten minutes or so, just to remind us it was there.

Mom and I checked out the National Museum of Art next to Deoksugung Palace, where Korean photographer, Bae Bien-U’s show was on display: “A point of contact between the heavens and the earth.”

We were so inspired by his work, we attempted to capture a few of our own artsy black & whites back at the palace.  These are a few of them here.  Granted, all we had to work with was a point-and-shoot digital camera, but, hey- we gave it a “shot!”  ;-)
