A number of ongoing projects have curtailed my ability to get out and about with a camera this spring, so I’ve taken advantage of infrequent available moments to step out into my backyard for some photos as spring has sprung forth.I must say that I’ve never really forced myself to look at my very familiar, small suburban backyard as anything terribly wondrous. Some people seem to have a spectacular back yard at their photographic disposal. I am not one of those people.
It’s been a good exercise to force myself to see the familiar in new ways. More of my backyard to come.

What a lovely back yard, and a lovely photo with the black background.
goergia o'keefe spoke about looking at life close-up. her paintings of flowers are about that pause, that moment of seeing the familiar in newness.
