I am a wedding photographer, so what the heck am I supposed to put my energy and never ending urge for capturing emotion and naturally beautiful moments when weddings aren't happening and all I have left is my home and my yard? I found myself pretty down in the dumps this past Thursday. I spent the morning with my son, Henry. He has actually been my light through all of this but when a toddler is cooped up, they require an extra amount of patience.  He finally went down for a nap around 3:00 PM. I needed air. I needed time to put my earbuds in and lose myself in music. I needed nature. Since I knew I had about an hour to make the most of my time, I grabbed my AirPods and went to my backyard and literally just sat in the grass. I cried. I was feeling sorry for myself and sorry for the world, as a whole. I looked to my side and saw a little pink emerging from my uncut grass. I focused my gaze on this weed and it took me to another place in my mind. Suddenly everything was ok for a moment. Nature is pretty incredible. I can't believe how many times I have spent time in my yard over the last five years and didn't notice these tiny miracles hanging out. Perhaps, they are still just weeds to you; but I am grateful for the hour of pure joy they brought me as I focused in on all of their tiny intricate textures and details.
