Mesmerized


I'm not sure what it is with me lately. I think maybe I'm just hormonal but I'm feeling so many things all at once. I feel like a teenage girl at times. The other day I was walking around in my yard admiring the landscape and I came upon my poppies. They are incredible this year. The centers were inky black with darker gray seed pods. The petals looked exactly like crepe paper in bright beautiful colors. I kept running my hands over the amazing textures. I reveled in their amazing gorgeousness. Just the fact that something so absolutely fabulous exists in nature was astounding to me. It actually brought a tear to my eye.
I spend a lot of time even staring out my office window lately. I look at the clouds and the trees. I watch the world go buzzing by. Everything is interesting.
Maybe I'm just finding time to slow down and see things I normally don't. I've been spending more time lately on my sketch book and art journals. I like how that opens your eye to a different perspective on the world.
Whatever it is, I'll take it.
