Day 5 - Something you might take for granted...

I think something we often take for granted or fail to notice is the beauty that exists in the "normalness" of every day life and routine. I like this quote and used it as inspiration for my photos today.

“children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to the sun; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.” 
 G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy




Would have liked to have a bit more time with these photos to experiment with getting the daisy's in focus but Evie would only hold Milly for about 20 seconds!!


Really wanted to get a sunset or moonlight but had to go out and it was not dark enough yet so another picture of the sunshine!
