When you pay attention to detail, the big picture will take care of itself.

First of all – thank you for a marvelous response and encouragement for us to keep going with the challenges! Cheers to you – here we go for year two!
From Patti we are urged to think about details this week. I thought of our travels in Bhutan last spring, and the colourful Tsechu we attended in Paro. So many people, so many faces, so many details. All these people, they make up a great picture together – a picture where you maybe don’t pay attention to the details so much…at first. Sometimes there actually are so many details that you have to decide to really take a closer look. To get the Whole picture.
It’s the details that make people distinct, that make them individuals.

The difference between something good and something great is attention to detail.

This magnificent temple displays tree carvings of utmost beauty. As I am usually well prepared when traveling, I knew what else to look for – the hanging pouches above the window. They are natural details, not man made. In fact they are bee communities. The bees are free to live there, and the Bhutanese don’t touch them or take away their honey.
Art is all in the details.

Things can happen when you least expect them so you always gotta be prepared. And pay attention to the details. The devil is in the details.

Abundant details or a few – they all make up the whole picture. What makes you tick? Personally I love both ways, and the combination of man made details and natural ones gives the picture a whole new dimension. I find it fascinating.
Thank you, Patti, for an inspiring challenge – you made me think of details from different angles!

When I spent 1968 and ’69 in Central America I was impressed by how colorful the clothing and weavings of the Maya peoples are.
Yes, we seem a bit dull over here when it comes to clothing and colours. So you spent two years over there – sounds exciting!
It was straight out of college. As a member of the American organization called the Peace Corps I worked as a math teacher in Honduras.
Loved the colorful clothing in your first shot.
Glad you enjoyed it! Fascinating!
I love all the colors and the faces and the details you shared about each photo. That bird at the end, with his foot up. Tiny mask around its eye! Excellent choices for the prompt!
Thank you, Shelley, I really had fun trying to find other angles of the prompt than the usual!
I’d say you hit the mark!

Lovely, unique details, Ann-Christine. A beautiful post. I love how the Bhutan people let the bees ”decorate” their windows with their nests. That was a great detail for me! And welcome back from your travels. 🙂
Thank you, Patti, for a splendid challenge! I had fun trying another angle for this one. Loved your Ravenna!
I’m with you AC, it’s the combinations – large and small, natural and manmade, that make our world such a fascinating place. Beautiful images as always
Thank you, Tina! I had fun trying to look at this challenge from a different angle.
I see you found a little bird doing yoga. Now that’s quite a detail! 🙂

Isn’t it!
Beautiful detail of Bhutan. I remember the photos you posted before for this special place.
Thank you so much for taking us there. 🙂
Thank you, Amy – the country and its people are very dear to me.
I liked this post Leya.

I just got lost in the face and people of Bhutan for a while thanks A-C 🙂
It’s easily done, isn’t it? Every face different in that crowd. You can even spot their special facial features – and a tourist face or two!
A fabulous photo indeed 🙂
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anywhere more beautifully detailed than Bhutan, Anne-Christine. 🙂 🙂
Thank you so much for loving it too, Jo! And Portugal is marvelous as well, architechture, azulejos, and more!
😍💕
Nice post, please check out my last blog post. Thank you
Beautiful. I did not know about the bee hives. Such an interesting nugget.
Mmm, I had read about them before, so I was on the lookout! So glad you enjoyed them.
The buildings are just so beautiful. And love the little bird too:)
Bhutan remains one of my favourite countries. Your photos bring back great memories. I think I recognized a couple of these places.
Glad to have brought happy memories for you!
Wow ….. stunning images. I love the little bird.
Lovely images; the little bird is gorgeous
I like him/her too – such a lovely pose!
Thank you, Viveka! They were everywhere – in strange positions…
I love these,A C! Great set of details
