Project 365 d-131

     Spring is a wonderful time for reflection. A time to evaluate your life, look deep inside and ponder your next move. Today was just one of those days. Not a sunny day with happy sky's, but a bit overcast and a little gloomy. Still, looking around there is much in the landscape that makes up for the lack of a glowing orb hovering in the sky. One of the greatest blessings about being away from the city is seeing the green, and beautiful growing things all around you. Plus, it can all be done without the hectic noise that accompanies life among many people all stacked together like boxes.

     After living in my new location for nearly a year; I am still amazed that I discover something new almost daily. Upon rounding my up and coming photo studio; I stumbled upon these little Bleeding hearts. They were sort of hidden toward the back of a flowerbed that it not as easily seen from the rest of the house. It is times like these that I often find the best subjects. I had to smile as I felt another lesson brewing in my mind. So maybe it is the same with life too? Sometimes you have to travel down the road farther than you had planned, or turn down a road you never wanted to be on. In doing so, who knows what, or who you will find. Perhaps in the finding you will be the one who is being refreshed  by the surprise of your discovery. Still, maybe the discovery will actually be the rescue of some unwanted, or forgotten thing. Some unloved person who needs to be admired with your eye, and told that they are beautiful. Quite possibly there is room to be both a  rescuer and be rescued at the same time. I have room for both on my resume. Where haven't you looked lately?

Happy Shooting.
