Today is Sunday, so I didn't want to do anything big. Instead of stressing out about what I was going to do for my picture today, I just sat back and let it happen. I'm taking that approach more often! This is a picture of the Peony in my front yard. I went outside to capture the sunset, but all my sunset shots were horrible. As I was walking back in, I noticed my mom and sister taking close-ups of this beauty, so I decided to give it a go.
Such a pretty flower! I love the color and the huge bunch of petals that it has. I didn't think to smell it...that's a metaphor for ya. I was so busy taking pictures of the thing that I didn't bother to take a moment and smell it or really enjoy it. I mean, sure. I'm enjoying it a lot on my computer screen, but that beautiful thing is sitting just outside my front door and I think tonight was the first time I even noticed it. AND, I wouldn't have even noticed it tonight if it hadn't been for my mom and my sister's attention to it.
But I guess that's how life is too. We get so caught up in the daily grind that we forget to pause every once in a while and just look around and enjoy the moment.
Stop and smell the roses.
