To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.
William Blake
I never cease to be amazed by the sheer beauty to be found all around us: sometimes in the face of a stranger, sometimes in the lines of a machine or building, and almost always in the intricate and astonishing detail of nature. If some of these images can bring you joy or encourage you to see the subject afresh, they will have fulfilled their purpose.
