photography
by beth mercer
every day the
possibility of beauty exists.
sometimes, stuck
in traffic,
on holiday,
arriving somewhere early,
you catch a
glimpse:
that lovely
cluster
of flowers
sunlight
filtering through leaves, a striking door.
when
you see a
photograph packed edge to edge
with something vivid, lovely
it’s easy to imagine the reality beyond that frame
was equally
ideal.
just
as, when
walking through a city,
through your normal everyday,
it’s easy to let the
clutter
hide the bits of beauty, the layered stories.
these
pictures
from my recent journey
through spain,
switzerland,
germany,
czech
republic
& england
are captures of
those bits i found
in
the midst of the ordinary.
beyond the frames
of each of these,
is everyday life.

when you stop,
and see--
a local park or front yard can become
the forest or field you long for

saint
vitus
usually seen
towering over prague
it'd be easy to
forget,
vitus still bows
to his master
