Tiptoe Through the Tulips




Inspiration is an amazing thing. For a few months now I haven't been very inspired to take any pictures. As I have mentioned before I have been in a bit of a rut artistically. I have tried to be patient with myself and just wait for the motivation and the inspiration to occur. Earlier this week I decided to just grab my camera and go outside in the yard and take a look around. To my surprise my backyard is in full bloom! There are tulips, daffodils, hyacinth and there are even little tiny buds on my rose bushes. Isn't spring an amazing time? I am hoping if I just keep pushing myself to make the time to take a walk with my camera I will get my groove back. I am getting tired of waiting to have it happen spontaneously. Maybe that in and of itself is the answer. It is not waiting on the sidelines hoping something will happen but seizing the opportunities as they happen and even going out there and making the opportunities happen! The image above is a tulip that was happily growing by my front door. How many times had I walked right on by this?
