Beauty Around the Yard

Sometimes it may feel like you have nothing to take a picture of, but stop and take a minute to look around you. That’s what I did today. There are amazing things out there that you may take for granted. Even the simple things.

So today I get out of my car and I see a ladder laid against the house, and growing around it are bright yellow flowers. I’ve been noticing these in bloom everywhere but my house. The beauty struck me. They seem to pop up over night and with the cold days we’ve been having, they are pretty much the only things in bloom.

So I took some time to smell the flowers, though they didn’t smell like anything, I was able to take some pictures of them. I want you to do the same thing! Get out there and take some pictures, really look around and see what you wouldn’t have normally notice. Post them here to share with me and every one else!

    Absolutely delightful set of pictures! That first one is just awesome with the flowers interwoven with the ladder, backdropped by that great reddish-purple wall. Thanks also, for the reminder to take time for simple but stunning photos like these

    These pictures are really beautiful! I love it when you pull your camera out unexpectedly. You always manage to find the beauty in even the smallest things. :)

      Stormy – Its funny… its hard to try to look at the smallest simple things when you are living your life. But when I have my camera the world stops and I feel like I can see everything much clearer. I need to pull it out more often!
