Spring and summer are such inspiring seasons for me. I don’t have to go far, the blooms and beauty that surrounds my home is breathtaking. I tell my son “ god is an artist” and he says “how do you know?” And I say “ look around. Look at all of these colors, who else could create such beautiful things!”Some times it’s all so overwhelming! I want to capture each and every shape and color and I have to pause and remind myself that it’s already in front of me and there’s nothing to capture, I just need to sit back and enjoy it! So many nooks and crannies to discover and get lost in! This to me is the best childhood playground! Greens so vibrant and breathtaking! It’s like standing in a library of books and wanting to read each and every book. I stand here and I want to look at every growing thing, up close and personal and there’s just not enough time. Or is there, and we just don’t make enough time for it? Sitting down and using what’s around me for inspiration has allowed me to slow down a little and make more time for observations and appreciation for the beauty that nature provides.
