| How photography helps me see the good |
| | Spring is finally here, and I can feel everything starting to wake up again. The days are a little longer, the birds a little louder, and the trees are starting to show some life. It always lifts my spirits and makes me want to grab my camera and head outside. There is something about watching the world come back to life that feels fresh and full of possibility. After a long stretch of gray, it is a welcome change to see color returning to the landscape. I can't wait until my favorite birch grove is vibrant like the photo above.
Nature and landscape photography help me see things in a more positive light. It is easy to miss the small, quiet changes when we are busy, but photography slows me down. I notice the first wildflowers, the light on new leaves, or even just the way water moves in a stream. Being out in nature with my camera helps me focus on what is going right in the world, even when things feel overwhelming. It is a kind of therapy I count on, and spring always gives me plenty to work with.
This time of year is also when I feel inspired to create and to share that inspiration with others. Whether it is through a workshop, a new blog post, or just a photo that made me smile, I hope what I see through my lens brings some of that same energy your way. Spring reminds me that beauty is always returning, and that every new season brings its own kind of magic. |
