The Wonder of Your Own Backyard


I live in a house with four children, and it's a really good thing because between my painting and studying, I would probably never get outside. Last week they were in the dining room with a big white bowl full of flowers they'd found out back, and suddenly I realized how long it had been since I'd photographed flowers. I took a trip outside to take some more, and before I knew it was pretty distracted by anything and everything. Here are just a few of the photos I was able to take. Nature really is so beautiful and complex. It's incredible the way it makes you feel and can so quickly bring you back into the moment and help you appreciate what is all around you. Vivo en una casa con cuatro niños, y eso es bueno porque entre todos mis estudios y pintura, es posible que jamás saldría de la casa, jaja. La semana pasada eso niños estaban en el comedor con un gran tazón llena de flores que habían cosechado del jardín. Al ver las flores recordé que había pasado ya mucho tiempo desde que tomé fotos de flores. Salí afuera y sin darme cuenta estuve distraída por todito. Aquí tengo unas de las fotos que tomé. La naturaleza realmente es tan hermoso y complejo. Es increíble la manera en que uno se siente en la naturaleza y como nos lleva de nuevo al momento presente y nos ayuda apreciar lo que tenemos alrededor.
