“Those who find beauty in all of nature will find themselves at one with the secrets of life itself.” – L. Wolfe Gilbert
There is such peace in nature. When I need to clear my head, I find that taking a walk surrounded by trees, water or both helps me to sort things out. Since I began taking pictures, it’s become even more therapeutic for me. As I have been slowly learning how to use my camera, I discovered that I enjoy taking closeups. Flowers, leaves, weeds and more are the perfect subjects! And the concentration helps me to chase out unwanted thoughts and to focus on the beauty in front of me. It seems like we are so busy that we forget to take time and be present in the moment.
Thanks for stopping by!

There is so much wonder in the world that we close our eyes too, but when you take close up photography you really get to LOOK, and the joy that that brings is a bonus, – and flowers/nature are my favourite things to look at.

So true in what you say. The human race seems to be in such a rush to get into the future, that it forgets to take a look at the present and admire the beauty that surrounds it. That beauty may not be there in the future. Great to see you having fun with photography, Kat.
