Throughout my life I have always taken pictures and searched for images that would make a good photo, but then in 2014 I started blogging with the idea that every day I would try to take a photo of something I find interesting or beautiful and blog about it. The pressure of trying to find something of note everyday has really forced me to notice the world around me, as I search for something to write about.
Of course I don’t come across something beautiful or interesting to blog about everyday, so I often have to supplement the blog by to digging up something from my past to write about, but making myself search keeps my eyes wide open and makes me much more aware of the the things around me, and that in itself, is a really positive thing.
Yesterday I noticed the crabapple tree in our yard that was showing off its vibrant deep pink blossoms. It somehow seemed out of place surrounded by all of the various shades of green that surrounded it. Last year because of cold weather conditions, it and our apple trees didn’t bloom at all, so it was a welcome sight to see things were back to normal this year.
