Would you take time to notice?

Most us pass the beauty of nature without notice.  Take your camera when you walk through your community and take time to notice the ordinary beauty in small things that we normally miss.  Don't miss the images that will add to your quality of life.  Life is good.  Take time to notice.

If you take time to notice, show us the photograph in the comments for this post.  Yes, this is a challenge for you to improve your quality of life!

I love taking nature shots...in fact, I'll print them and attach them to card stock to send notes to my clients!

Roy, I hope I have you permission to wait another couple of months - while I don't mind our 110 degree temps, it's that I don't mind them during the day time when I'm in the A/C.  Not much to see after the sun sets, LOL.  But, I promise I'll be taking some more photos - with all the rain we've been getting, well by our standards, we're sure to get some great blooms and you always inspire me with your great photos.

Your photos of flowers have inspired me to take some of my own.  It's going to take some time to get as good at this as you.

Since viewing your photos on a regular basis, I must say I do pay more attention to the flowers. Enjoy the day!

We are experiencing some very hot weather in Maryland this week. Special attention is needed for children, seniors and pets
