The ripples of the ancient glass wash over the view beyond the window.

              

The Extraordinary in the Ordinary #3 - Autumn Beckons Winter

The last autumn leaves hang on like copper pennies and beckon over the bare dark fingers of winter to carry them away.

              

The Extraordinary in the Ordinary #2 - The Remnants of a Dutiful Fence

Just like a castle in ruins, a fence still trying to stand tall and be noticed.  It’s twisted timber may no longer be a barrier but the beauty of it’s aged life can be appreciated and reflected upon.  What tales could it tell?

       

The Extraordinary in the Ordinary #1 - The Beauty of a Rusty Gate

 

Sometimes something captures my imagination and I see something extraordinary in the ordinary.  While waiting for the bus this morning on a very grey, foggy and wet start to the day, I noticed this old rusty gate by the church yard that I stand next to each morning while waiting for my transport to arrive.  The droplets of water hanging onto the spiders web which had weaved into the curves of the rusty gate, along with the grave stones in the background.  This image made my heart sing.

 

It's amazing how different something looks when you see the extraordinary within. 

 

Never take things for granted.
