“to see Heaven in a Flower” ~Inspirational Photo Collection from Linda Willows ~ 8.3.2012


I am especially happy to share this inspiring collection with you for its great beauty and depth. All are the works of Australian Photographer Sandra McCabe, who specializes in micro photography and Flowers.

In her bio she offers a quote from William Blake, “To see a world in a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower. Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in and hour.” This, she says is the view that she sees through her lens.

That, as well as these remarkable photographs inspired me. I am very happy to share these with you today!
In-Joy. Be with Peace -
Love, Linda

    • My dearest Perdefonin, thank you for your gracious note. But first know that you are a Fine Art Photographer that no one can compare to in my opinion. I think of you often when viewing photos. I have a special poem that will be dedicated to “the dancer”. You are so gracious for writing in. I feel that the light and lens of our soul connection is refined to the Heart’s perfection, all Love, Linda
