“Nature is truly a relentless artist. It doesn’t care for an audience, for validation, for appreciation.” Beautiful images and an elegant sentiment. Nature is a breathtaking example of how I want to show up to life: fully, freely, and boldly.

Thank you for putting words to just how beautiful & artistic nature is. There is nothing that makes me feel as creative as being in nature does, and maybe this is why - I’m inspired by her own artistry.

You’re right as far as seeing beauty, we don’t have to travel far. I walk out my back door I live on 10 acres in the country in North Florida and I see the beauty not only in the environment- trees, flowers,dandelions, elderberry, mushrooms - but also with the animals, the baby deer and their mommies, and the squirrels, rabbits, turtles, turkeys and The seasonal birds as they come and go. Just so much beauty and it changes constantly throughout the day, throughout the seasons and with different types of weather. I appreciate you for sharing this because it just reminds me how blessed I am 💗🙏

Beautiful photos, Minaz! I agree that nature is art at every step. I'm heading to the forest now and I will observe everything around me with gratitude and presence.

That's a pretty cool perspective - that we live in "art".

Loved every word!

You are right Minaz. There is art in every creation of God

You have described art perfectly Minaz, there is absolutely nothing in this world that hasn’t got some art to it, even a speck of dust if you look at it through a microscope. A very creative piece this week.

'Art in a speck of dust' That's such a deep way of looking at art. Thanks Sally :)

All the images are beautiful and unique in their way. Nature is the greatest artist in every respect and there are infinite lessons to learn from it.

As an artist you have great responsibility on your shoulder. The system as of today is not able to utilise talent of artists but Osho hoped a golden future where artist will guide scientists so that they can invent only creative technology.

A new world order based on love can be created by Woman leaders in this world, Since love is natural for them.

I suggest you to read this book and introspect about how much the world has changed in this direction? So that together we can decide further about possible ways to align with this vision or modified vision as per new circumstances.

Social media has made us a part of commune he suggested. Open source has become a new world government in the making. 4B movement in Korea is heading towards a rood without marriage.

Beautiful images and words Minaz! I live in the city, but it is a very green city with many parks. Your work here inspires me to go to those places and be surrounded by the art they provide.
