Beauty in the Gloom
Hi friends!
Hope this week is off to a great start for you. We went on our first trip as a family with Avi. Not too far, about 20 minutes away to a big open space in Sedalia. The day had gotten cloudy and overcast and I was excited to bring my camera and do some shooting. This is an awesome place to shoot on a cloudy day . It is so open and spacious, this olden like grass stretches back for miles. In the distance you see the soft blues peaks of the mountains. The skies are always beautiful here. There are no distractions, just the land against the sky. I love cloudy days anyway just because of the beautiful soft light it gives no matter what time of day it is. I find it special that on a day that most people think of as gloomy, there is so much beauty to be found. I got some really lovely shots of my children playing in this big field against the stormy skies. My 35mm was my first choice and it never disappoints! After being on bedrest for the last part of my pregnancy and then taking these last weeks off to be with Avi, I've been going stir crazy!!;) It felt SO good to be outdoors again. Breathing in the cool fresh air and walking in this SILENT place did my heart and soul so much good. As an introvert I really thrive on being outdoors in the quiet. It's not just about noise but it's about distractions. I leave my phone in the car and for a few hours it's just me and my children in this big place. Anyway thank you for reading my rambling thoughts and thank you so much for all the heartfelt messages and comments congratulating me on the arrival of our newest little one. It means so much to me and brings so much joy to read and reread so many kind words.

Have a wonderful week my dear friends!
