How People You Don’t Know Can Transform You
The past week has brought an extraordinary parade of colour into my
life. Wherever my eyes roamed, they were rewarded with rich, joyous, extravagant
colour. What a gift! The Quaker photographer, Peter West Nutting, refers to appreciating this kind of visual magic as "listening with your eyes."
As a way of giving thanks for these colourful blessings, I’m posting
these images, all recorded in the last seven days. Enjoy!
