Fun Friday | Backyard Fine Art

It's been a while since my last Fun Friday post and I'm super excited about these images. Maybe the most excited I've been about any personal fine art work in a while. One thing I personally struggle with is to see the beauty that surrounds my everyday life. I get caught in starting into a computer for hours mode, or running errands, or another one of my goals this year to get back into long distance running, or gym and the list goes on....So it's easier to plan a dedicated photo trip, an adventure somewhere I've never been or a place I love. To see something for the first time often has a more immediate sense of wonder to it. Yosemite, The Tetons, Big Sur, Acadia to name a few favorites. But it's always rewarding to look deeper and more closely at what we walk by each and every day. My backyard happens to be a State Park, and I am so grateful for it. It doesn't always present itself with a wealth of photographic opportunity but after the other night I think I need to simply look closer (and having a camera with me doesn't hurt). Enjoy and happy Friday.
