I am going to miss this ~trips to the Botanical Gardens

Leave a comment

Sometimes I need a bit of reframing.

This trip felt overwhelming, loud, and tiring but then I looked at the posts I used to do of things I would miss about my boys being small.

And I do. I miss it.

So I decided to look at yesterday through the lens of things I would miss so I can look back on it in a few years and remember.

I am going to miss sharing these experiences with my kids.

I am going to miss them wanting to play on every loud instrument.

I am going to miss goofy smiles as they photo bomb each others pics.

I am going to miss hiking buddies.

I am going to miss the wonder and excitement of finding something unexpected.

Even if it is a venomous snake…

Most of all, I will miss seeing them in front of me. Exploring and taking things in.

One day I will walk through a garden in the quiet and miss them and the noise they make.

My two oldest are getting to the point they don’t join in on everything, their plans are changing and that means they are not always there. And I miss it.

New photo project

I have taken up another daily photo project.

I am not sure yet how long it will be.

I go out every night after getting kids to bed and walk around our yard.

That in and of itself is relaxing and making it worthwhile.

 

I used to walk outside in the evenings a lot when I was teenager.

I love watching the changes that are happening every day.

The little things that I never noticed.

Like a plants first flower.

Or new bugs that are coming out as we enter summer.

Sometimes one of the boys will be out there and I can’t resist snapping a shot.

Sometimes I feel nostalgic of when I did my first photo project, 365 self portraits.

That was about 8yrs ago.

I am finding that I am improving my dog photography since our dog Milo is an interesting subject.

So far I am 27 days in.

I am wondering how long I can find things to take pictures of in our yard.

You would think I would run out eventually!

But for now I am enjoying the challenge and the chance to end the day in peace and quiet.

Have you ever done a daily project?

What did you think?
