There is something addictive to me about nature and being out in absolute silence. I struggle deeply with noise and chaos. I feel every noise and every word reverberate through my brain. I don't come equipped with a "tune it out" gauge or maybe mine's just broken. Instead my brain just feels scrambled. it's hard for me to write or even speak coherently when I'm surrounded by noise. That is why when I found photography it became an excuse, a reason to give myself a break. Being a mom can be tough because obviously a lot of that noise comes from the children (whom I love deeply might I add) that surround me. Before I invested my soul into photography I would feel guilty if I "longed for" or needed a "break". I would question myself and feel like I was an awful Mom for needing to get away... Photography is the way that I find peace and relax my mind. Standing out in this stretch of road, the fog hanging over the trees and the absolute silence - I feel an absolute surge of euphoria. My mind is free too wander, uninterrupted. This was last night. It was cold as heck, I could see my breath easily and after awhile the cold drizzle actually turned to huge drops of slushy snow. I was cold. It didn't even matter. I had silence all to myself, the quiet to breathe in and just close my eyes (don't worry I wasn't applying these relaxing techniques in the middle of the road!) Of course just like our ability to appreciate light and joy stems from our familiarity with darkness and sorrow, the appreciation of silence is there because of the noise. There is nothing wrong with the right noise either... Someday I will miss the noise of little voices, pattering footsteps, even the arguing. I realize this. I embrace noise to a point. But I also have come to realize that silence is just as important to my happiness. And once I get the picture, all those feelings come back when I'm staring at the road again on my screen. It's a small way of transporting myself back til next time.Sorry for the book, thank you for listening to my rambling thoughts!

Big moments and important things are great, of course, but the little things are what make up our daily lives.
Wildflowers and silence in nature are two of the little things I love, but there’s so much more. Hearing our kitties purr while they snuggle, watching birds in our backyard, feeling the sun on my bare skin, the smell of a campfire, plus countless other little moments and things that I find happy & uplifting.
While I’m not into material things that much, I do find joy in notebooks and bandanas. I’ve been enjoying this project of capturing them all before they’re used up. It’s been a fun activity with subject material I very much enjoy!
