Amazing, Ellen!
In Moscow, the colorful autumn has already passed. Now remnants of yellow still decorate the harsh dark green-brown landscape. This severity has its own beautiful beauty. And I don’t even know what inspires me more: the riot of color or the restraint of the last cry of autumn.
Thanks for the beauty! 💃💃💃
We, the humans, begin abstraction when we first speak a word for ‘something concrete’ as a child. All spoken and written affairs and all arts are a part of abstraction. Abstraction is not something disjoint from concrete reality. It’s a way to express how we see the world, how we feel the world and how we relate our ‘self’ with the world. For example, I love nature. This is something very subjective. Now I want to portray “how I love nature” and I want to express this subjective experience to the world. I could do a painting or I could write poetry or I could use photography as tools.
Sometimes I have very unique subjective experiences which I cannot share in anyway, then I drop all my tools of abstraction and go silent.
Kam Ran, Thank you so much for this clarification! I appreciate 🙏🏽 it very much. Good night to you… actually not sure where you are. I lost a lovely message that I think might have been from you, saying “Good morning from India.” I was delighted by it at the time. Then computer troubles and all got lost. 🙏🏽🍃🍂🍁 Leaves from New York City.
Amazing pictures, Ellen! The wonders that nature bestows upon us Animals as a whole, and trees in particular, delight in the changing of the seasons.
I just recently tried to track down your writings after a lengthy absence, and I am completely captivated by what I see.
Stunning images!
A breathtaking show takes place as the sun sets, bathing the world in golden light. Fallen leaves have turned into a tapestry of flaming reds, burnt oranges, and royal yellows, while the trees stand tall and proud in their October finery. The rustling of the leaves is like a natural symphony, filling the air with its melodies.
Many, many thanks, Arun. You don’t know how much your words are healing to me. I am having a hard time in many ways and your comment means so much to me. Nature is the best medicine. Unfortunately I cannot get out to be in it right now. The scenes I took are naturally photogenic. The place I took the pictures, Millbrook, New York is full of nature’s beauty everywhere. We no longer live there but it was a most beautiful time in our lives to be surrounded by such exquisite scenes! Thank you so much for your kind words. 🙏✨🪶🌿🍀🍁🍂🍃
Cindy, you are so generous. Your posts are all brilliant and you spread great light to so many people. Thank you for your kind words. They mean so much to me at this time.
Gorgeous photos, Ellen! 🙂🌻

Oh, how I miss fall colors! In Florida we have green and brown seasons. Few colors happen, so this is a wonderful gift of awe and wonder. Thanks, El!

Thank you, Dayle! I miss them, too though hopefully New York City will put on a show soon.

The beauty of autumn cannot be compared with anything

Thank you for writing! I, too, love the bare branches as much as Fall. There is something poetic about them. Almost sacred.

Great! Thanks for understanding.
Have a wonderful autumn mood! ⛈☂🌦

So Beautiful. I wish I could live without all abstractions with nature flowing through my veins.
October 26, 2023 at 10:02 AM
🙏Thank you so much! Not quite sure what you mean. I tend to think concretely. How do we live with abstractions? Can you give me an example?🙏

A dazzling array of color in your photos Ellen. They are rather fleeting…a lot like life
October 26, 2023 at 4:04 PM
It flies by in the blink of an eye and, yes, like life.
