Love the friends you make bartering for photography help! People (struggling with tripods) helping people!
Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here! 😁 And, my goodness, I hope to catch up on comments soon. I love hearing from you guys; the days have just been flying by lately!
Indeed, this week has gotten away from me, so I’m just focusing on one big source of sparkle—last Sunday’s trip to the Conservatory! (This fall, I’m clearly putting my botanical garden membership to good use! 😂)
As always, the beautiful, natural setting was its own source of restorative joy. But I also realized shortly after I arrived and was trying to set up a shot in front of this wall of plants:
that the whole thing felt like play.
You know, pure creative fun. What a joy it is to get into this flow state where I just look at beautiful things and literally play around taking pictures! Checking out angles and lighting, toying around with settings on my camera, seeking out random secluded spots… the whole endeavor just feels good in my soul. It’s been such a positive distraction from my anxiety this fall!
And, I don’t know, to me, the fall vibes are just immaculate in pics like this:
I also finally remembered to bring a tarot deck to the gardens with me. I’d been wanting to pull a card to see what messages my Higher Self had for me. Apparently, she had three!
Why yes, I do have a Zelda tarot deck! 😂
I’ve never pulled The Fool before, and the write-up was absolutely spot-on for my day of play:
“The energy of the Fool is one of pure openness and wonder. This card calls to the childlike nature of your spirit.”
🔮🔮🔮
In the immortal words of Queen, 🎶It’s a Kind of Magic🎶.
What put the sparkle in your week? ✨
Happy Friday! I hope you get to “play” this weekend! xoxo
