I think that I shall never see
a billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.
Ogden Nash

dittoSo lovely, Ann -- perfect edit, too!
"A few people askedI think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer
Thank you!!beautiful shot. This challenge is bearing wonderful fruit.
I don't know anyone else who (on an ongoing basis) can make bits of tin look interesting
Lovely.... so Zen.
Not me. The only balancing I did was not falling in the river.Lovely.... so Zen.
Did you stack the stones? That's something I want to try....
I think so. Just some leaves I gathered along our road and photographed later.Beautiful Ann. Ginko?
Yes, of course Deepop would choose Simplicity - he is the King of simplicity.
Cool!!Me and my eldest have done stone balancing at a Llandudno in Wales. We busked it and made enough money for him to buy a book he wanted.
I like to get a leg up on these challenges.Yes, of course Deepop would choose Simplicity - he is the King of simplicity.

I don't know about inexpert. A beautiful, touching photo of a lovely moment.View attachment 80146
Our beloved Sam-the-dog loved three grandbabies in his ten years. We're glad of memories like these early 'sniffing each other out' moments.
When I was looking for 'simplicity' in my camera roll full of edits and collages and pastiche, this one reminded me of the simplicity of a puppydog's love & loyalty, the curiosity & trust of a baby -- and how much can be 'held' & treasured in a simple, inexpert snap.
