Today's guest blogger continually stuns me with her eye for beauty. She loves simple lines, simple subjects, simple views. But, when you combine her love of simplicity and her skill with a camera, you get nothing short of magic. I'm so pleased to introduce you to my friend, ELK, and her magic way with words and images. simplicity is my passion
a basic kitchen window sill
the shadow and sun of everyday life
images from over the years are shared here today
a moment to ripen and bloom
to embrace each sight from the window
there is a bright comfort created there each day . a following of light
a soft place to gather strength to be a difference in the world
then a coming home spot . even for tears in the missing times
a simple life . reflected each time I pause & stand
to dream at the kitchen window

I love this woman.
Her way with words and camera
are simply poetry.
My heart races a little
with simple joy
when I see she has posted again
and then it slows....slows....
gentle....breathe.....peace...
as I wander slowly through.
Sanctuary.
Simplicity.
Altogether beautiful.
Thanks, Relyn.

We are in our current house all because of how I felt when I stood and looked out the kitchen window .... Eleven years ago. And how much I have seen out that window! Sigh.
so glad to see a familiar blogging face here, and to meet someone new through her... love the paintbrushes next to the pottery mug. and kitchen windows...
ELK is a true friend...she always provides a soft place to fall.
So often, we look beyond the patterns and subtle textures of our days...they slip quietly by our notice. But they are still there, waiting.
so much beauty ... from both of you
Oh, Elk, your photography is so eloquent in its simplicity. It tells stories, and what stories they are. Thank you for sharing your words and images with us.
thank you
for having me
I am honored

i've loved elk for a long time. gracious and compassionate, i am thankful for her presense in my world. thank you for featuring her.
thank you for such a lovely post.Elk is a treasure to us all. I adore her simple messages. I have a postcard she sent to me once and it hangs by my sewing machine for an inspirational Muse!
Elk's photos seem to find the essence of life and experience as do her words.
Simply beautiful.
This speaks to my heart, as I am most comforted by the simple things.
Oh, how I love this. xo
