Take a walk with me
Some Things I noticed
Sometimes I like to take walks just to be outside and breathe. But even when I don’t have my camera on me, I’m always looking at what’s around and and thinking about what could be a good photo. How can I turn what I see into art? Having this perspective helps me slow down and notice what’s around me because it’s often the little details that I like to photograph the most. Here are some things I noticed recently when I did have my camera with me.
A dogwood tree is bursting with white blooms dotted with green leaves.
Bright red maple keys hang like ornaments from dark maroon leaves.
A marshy lakeshore with reeds, lily pads, and bright yellow water lilies.

What are you noticing?
Even if you live in a really urban area and you don’t have your own garden, maybe your neighbours’ gardens are blooming right now! I love seeing the results of natural processes and the effort of gardeners coming together at this time of year.
