Don’t Take Me for Granted

            “Not every nature experience must entail a grand adventure to a scenic national park. Watching a caterpillar make its way across a sidewalk or simply lying in the grass and watching the clouds go by in the backyard can be a great adventure to a small child.” - Linda McGurk.       
                                                               
     That sounds like me. As I age, it may be true that I am becoming more child like. I am happy sitting on our deck watching all the birds visit. As a photographer, I can easily feel uninspired at times because I am not always out exploring new places with my camera.  Take this Trout Lily for an example. They are so common in our area, that it would be so easy to say to myself, “ I don’t need another Trout Lily picture.” Instead, I honoured these little spring gems with a new portrait for this year. I challenged myself to capture it in a slightly different way. If you look a little closer, you will see tiny dew drops on the curled petals of the flower.  This is another native plant I leave to thrive in its natural habitat.
