ku # 1292 ~ to worship beauty for its own sake is narrow

red berries and grasses ~ Essex, NY - in the Adirondack PARK • click to embiggen

... one must not have a too pronounced notion of what constitutes beauty in the external and, above all, must not worship it. To worship beauty for its own sake is narrow, and one surely cannot derive from it that esthetic pleasure which comes from finding beauty in the commonest things. ~ Imogen Cunningham

This is one of those images that does not look interesting until you embiggen, and probably would terrific as a 40x40.

I like the way that image is almost teasing - centered on the hole in the grass, with the majority of the berries (what a red!) towards the edges of the frame, where they again seem to vanish in the blur. That works.
