Morning Pages - The Wonder of Nature

This picture really captures how I feel about nature and its glory. Already we are rapidly approaching the time of year when nature starts to wake up after her winter’s rest. Yes that means my camera will go into overdrive as I take pictures of flowers and if I am real lucky animals too. Afternoons spent in quiet contemplation in the town gardens are something I cherish both as an artist and as a busy mum. Odd for a city girl maybe as I enjoy nature and do take the time to stop and stare. Probably a bit crazy too, I don’t know. I don’t believe we need to retreat to lonely cottages in the middle of nowhere to retreat or find beauty. My greatest retreat is into my imagination and beauty is everywhere if you take a few minutes to look for it. A single flower in a window box is all it takes. Nature has designed flowers to perfection from the moment a tight little bud forms and waits for the touch of the sun to open up to full glory, making the most of its warmth and light.
