it has been absolutely beautiful here! and i’ve been making time to get outside and walk! i’ve been paying a lot of attention to intuition lately. and on my walk the other day, it was one of those serendipitous things that brought me to taking this photo.
i had my camera out and the sun was shining and i thought the mud looked pretty. my second thought was, “you can’t stop and take photos of mud. what’s so pretty about that?” but, like i said, i’ve paying attention to things i’m drawn to and not judging… so i stopped and photographed the mud.
and then i saw this sewer cover a bit off from the sidewalk (this photo would have been upside for me from where i’d been standing). and so i thought, “that sewer cover is pretty, i’ll take photos of that.”
as i walked closer i saw the start of this word (the “en” was still covered in snow). and at that moment i got these goosebumps, feeling i was just in the place i needed to be and so thankful i’d followed my gut instinct.
because when i pushed back the snow to find this entire sentiment, i knew i had done just that… LISTEN.
……………………………………………….
and a gigantic THANK YOU to the always beautiful and inspiring Kolleen and Danielle for their super sweet blog posts about HOW TO PAINT AN OWL!
and THANK YOU to all of you! i just can’t thank you all enough for your incredible encouragement and support! i am just so very grateful for it ALL!
