From time to time, I lament not going anywhere to take photos. I just run out of things to be creative with photographing around the house.
Then… then I have a day when I go, “I’d really like to have a photo of this to remember.” Or perhaps suddenly I see something in a way I never saw it before.
Yesterday was Easter, and as we usually do, my parents and I went to my brother’s house. (My husband had a show on Good Friday that pretty much rendered his flying down for Easter pointless. He could have made it, but… logically I felt it didn’t make much sense. It was our first Easter to NOT be together in 6 years.) Afterwards, we did something else that has sort of become a tradition… we just drove around my small hometown so I could take some pictures.
I’m all about photographing towns I visit, but I miss the beauty in the town I call my hometown.
Today, though, I embraced it… and garnered myself 84 photos added to Flickr. One thing I finally shot was the old grainery… the one I’ve been wanting to get photos of for about 8 years.
And then a look back at town from the railroad tracks…
Then over to the park on the edge of town…
Then finally, right in my parent’s backyard, a bush full of butterflies…
How many do you see?
Nice to find beauty right where you are… Just think, where you are right now, someone else probably would travel to see. Why not take a moment to see it through their eyes?
