Who Is The Artist?



'If one really loves nature, one can find beauty everywhere.' ~ by Vincent van Gogh

Another beautiful day and discovery. Nature will always find a way to show off her beauty. Today myself and Matthew went out for our usual one hour plus exploration walk around the subdivision. As he was looking for his friends and calling anyone his size a friend - 'Hi friends'; I was looking for things nature will let me to take snapshot of. Sometimes, it is just the same thing over and over again, but then these grooves on the side of the curb caught my eye. It rained last night, so all the earthworms were out. They found a way to slide close to the curb on the soft wet sand. Not knowing, they created a nice abstract art work, a work I am showing off today.

  3. I used to play with earthworms when I was small, they are such simple beings. The pattern left by 'coily' earthworms (don't know their English name) is also beautiful, looks like spirals. :) Thanks Anna, my morning is nicer!

  4. Hey Anna,

    This is one beautiful abstract! I must congratulate the artists: the warms LOL! Seriously now, your eyes caught a real natural beauty :D.

    But what I liked was to hear that Matthew calls everybody his size "Hi friends" - how cute is that? That baby boy is a perfect PR...I am telling you!

    Excellent post :D!

    Cheers

  14. Hi Anna,

    I, too, loved the idea of Matthew calling everyone his size "friends" - he is starting out life on the right foot for sure!

    I've never noticed worm art, but love this abstract image that your sharp eye spotted, and will be on the lookout for nature art in my surroundings.

  16. Hi Anna,
    This is so true... Nature is full of Natural art and we sometime take it for granted and overlook at it!! You took a beautiful picture and I love the way you're looking at nature!

  18. La naturaleza nos regala continuamente imágenes fantásticas. Algunas fáciles de ver, pero también muchas otras que hay que saber aislar y capturar con la cámara; tan estupendamente como en esta fotografía. Saludos.

  21. Hi! If you hadn't mentioned worms I would have sworn what I was looking at was a close up of the moon!

    Take Care,

  23. It makes a lovely abstract, like a landscape. I guess it IS an earthworm landscape!

    I'm glad you got out with Matthew.

    He's outgoing like our daughter was. When we went grocery shopping, she would sit in the shopping cart saying, "Hello, Man," and "Good Morning, Lady," to everyone! Too much "Mr. Rogers," I guess, lol....

  24. Anna:

    Absolutely wow! You have such a keen eye for natural detail. I love this shot. It kind of reminds of Europa, the sixth moon of Jupiter. Check it out.

    Happy trails.

  25. Earthworms as artists, and good ones they are.

    Your story reminds me of when my youngest daughter was quite younger and very outgoing and friendly. We went to a basketball game and when we got inside she tried to let go of my hand saying, "I need to go find my friends!". I said that I was not sure she knew anyone there and she said something along the lines of: "Well not yet, but when I do they will be my friends, can I go now".

  33. Thanks for sharing this shot. If you don't tell me that this art was made by earthworms, I will guess about texture of rock.

  35. Interesting image Anna, you definitely have an artistic eye. Beautiful capture and framing. Really like the textures and details here. Amazing how a child sees the world, so innocent and unprejudiced.
