Of Guilt and Inspiration

It's spring, and I'm feeling it.

There are so many little flowers blooming,

and it's inspiring me to tame more pictures.

I have to admit, though I take my camera practically everywhere,

I've been lacking a little on creativity.

So a little prick of guilt,

And a little taste of success,

And some spring fever mixed in there,

I'm more inspired.

I used a rain overlay from Carrie at "Captured by Carrie", and an action from The Coffee Shop Blog

I almost blamed it on winter.
You know, it being all bare and boring out there.
But, there's no excuse,
Because I can always find a still-life to shoot.

So, hopefully I'll be going through more pictures and keep myself motivated.

Blessings,
Alyssa

Do You See Beauty?

Do you see beauty in the small things?

The hard things?

The uncomfortable things?

Water drops are small,

And frozen hard.

The limbs creak and bend

Under the unwanted weight.

But the sun still shines.

Can we see the beauty in it?

Each frozen water drop

Reflects a small image

Of the sun that warms the Earth.

Blessings,

Alyssa
