“Complementary colors make a strange pair. They are opposite, yet they require each other. They incite each other to maximum vividness when together; and annihilate each other when mixed.”
[Johannes Itten]
.
Scripture is full of opposites, and seemingly contradictory statements that teach us simple truths:
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
[Matthew 5:4-7]

Linking with Sandra Heska King for Still Saturday:
Wow! Such a beautiful photo! I am a WordPress photographer as well, so I love seeing posts like this! Great job, and keep it up!
I love that quote. I think it fits personalities as well. And I see crosses all up and down those stems.
It’s so much fun to have you link up.
you have a wonderful eye for beauty, Carol. Thank for sharing.
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.”
- Bible: Ecclesiastes
As always Carol, I loved the photography. You have a great eye and a wonderful bent for great quotes as well
Blessed are we by your words and photo! Thank you, Careann!
It’s been years since I have seen Oregon grape. We lived in Washington State when I was a child and I would see it then.
A beautiful photo and perfect for this post. I love it when photographers help me appreciate the small, unnoticed lovely things in nature.
I’m glad this colourful photo of Oregon Grape gave pleasure.
I particularly appreciated Joylene‘s pairing of the verse from Ecclesiastes 4:9-10. And also that Sandra saw the crosses that made the photo link to her ‘Still Saturday’ post.
Thanks to all of you for your feedback. You’ve blessed my weekend.
