don’t remove the poetry

jumping the seasonal gun here with this image that is giving off winter vibes. it’s still very much autumn yet. don’t worry. but i have a commission to do some new images using pine cones and evergreens, so my studio (aka kitchen) floor is loaded with them. and this little trio caught my attention for its ability to evoke a whole season with just three tiny bits. it reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:

“Pare down to the essence, but don’t remove the poetry.”  ― Leonard Koren

evergreen tip, crabapples, and a pinecone
