June 15 on the 15th

Today, I'm inviting you to walk outside with your camera and spend 15 minutes seeing—through your lens—the beauty very close to home.

What's close often becomes so familiar that we zip in and out and fail to notice what is showing, growing and/or changing right in front of us. Fifteen minutes is all you need for a deep, cleansing breath and refreshing minutes …

• looking out from the balcony.

• strolling around your yard.

• walking down the street.

💚 I can't wait to SEE what you see!

I love this blossomed view of our home, taken back in 2017. My neighbor's Ornamental Plum tree has now grown so tall that I cannot reach the branches.

Now is the time to stop and get the photo. All you need is 15 minutes!

TIP: Photography is really about light and light isn't particularly interesting when it is directly overhead. So, you might choose to venture at sunset or schedule your 15-minute exploration for early tomorrow.
