On my retirement from the work force I picked up my "big girl" camera. I had never been the picture taking person in the family. It opened hidden treasures beyond my imagination. It called me to walk down avenues yet undiscovered and to look for the little things in life, the things that delighted me.
I started walking in the alleys of my neighborhood, choosing different directions to go. I found herb gardens, beehives, and orange doors too.
I wondered what others found when they walked the alley behind my yard. So with camera in hand this week I walked the alley behind my house and this is what I found.
I walked in front of my house and peeked through the plum tree. I spied flowers blooming there. The dappled light did delight me too.
And walking by the sea, as the tide rolled out, I found sea anemone trying to survive until the water would return and they are once again be out of sight.
Several years ago I walked through the apple orchard by my sister's home. I was taking pictures of the apples. On later looking at the picture it revealed to me corn growing there.
And finding a secret garden through a garden gate in springtime, flowers abound and touch my heart with a smile of joy.
It is like a treasure hunt to carry my camera and notice what I notice.
A smile always sits ready to burst and my heart dances with joy.
Do you love finding small treasures hidden in plain view?
Go out this weekend and notice what you notice!
Happy weekend, dear friends!
