Therapy

Yesterday we went exploring.  We got in the car and drove until we felt like stopping.  I brought my camera along. 

We ended up at the lake.  I sat on the dock, closed my eyes, and listened to the waves.  The wind was blowing and the air was cool and I could imagine that I was at the beach. 

It had been weeks since I had picked up my camera; I didn’t really take any pictures during my creative slump.  I had forgotten how much I missed it! 

One of my favorite things about photography is that it makes me really pause and look at the beauty around me. I notice things I might not have noticed.  And then I can look at that beautiful flower or sunset or face that made me so happy again and again. 

The world is really such a lovely place.
