It’s amazing how something can be so simple, yet at the same time so elusive. We go around, looking for inspiration, but it’s everywhere. Truly everywhere, when we open our eyes. Inspiration can be as simple as vines on wood.
I don’t know why, but I always love the lines and curves of climbing ivy vines. There is something so beautiful about the way they reach out and grow and grow. Add a textured wall and some soft overcast light to give depth of highlight and shadow in those wonderful green leaves, and I’m in heaven with my camera.
So beautiful to me, yet so simple. Proving yet again, we often make things harder than they need to be.
I’ve always loved ivy covered things, there is something so warm and natural
Well said. I am famous for making things more complicated than they need to be. Simplicity – something to strive for.
Good point here, and wonderful illustration! I love ivy too, and was sad that we had to rip it off our brick house because it was ruining the mortar.
Yeah, it’s beautiful but so destructive! I like to photograph it but I wouldn’t want it on my home.
