Becoming Who I Am
When we moved into this house in 2005, the landscaping was absent of flowers. We've slowly added color over the years. I will on occasion buy a plant and my husband picks where to plant it. We are perennial plant lovers. Walking around and seeing my garden through the camera lens gave me a sense of peace and calmness, time was suspended. I wish I had a jar that could bottle up that peace and I could release it's powerful effect when I am borrowing worries and troubles. Since that is impossible, I find when I am calm, happy and stressfree, I will document those days through my camera or in my journal. They are treasured days in my mind. I was also contemplating how whenever I am rushing off to get errands completed or chores done, I miss the everyday beauty in nature. Why is it with a camera and a few minutes, I am refocused and I see what is there every single day but in a different light and angle? I walk by these plants daily taking them for granted.
