Inspiration From Nature

Though a rock may be before you, like the river, you can still find a way. A beautiful way.

You may not know what they are, the world may not value them, but to you, they are beautiful. What are they?

Why is the water blue?

Water, as a great looking glass, is reflecting the beautiful sky.

What are you reflecting?

The Color of Memories

I'm just wondering.
How does our mind remember color?
Can you remember right now the color of fall?
What about a special memory. Do you have a color associated with that?

My fiancé and I love going to the park together. I was looking through some pictures, remembering the awesome times we've had together when I discovered a picture I had taken of some blossoms. On a whim, I decided to give it a second chance (it wasn't a terrible picture, but it wasn't beautiful).

before

after!

I love color! Nature's natural color is the best!

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

Life in Seasons

I saw a small footprint in the mud and was reminded that little children make a big mark on this world.

I saw a fort built of snow and plywood and was reminded that adults pass traditions down to the young.

I saw an elderly lady wishing to go out in the cold and was reminded that footprints fade, and snow-forts melt.

I saw a tiny flower and was reminded that all goes on.

Blessings,

Alyssa
