Spring

Adopt the pace of nature. Her secret is patience.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I took these pictures at Maymont Park this week, a much needed immersion into Nature with a very dear friend. Denise is one of my favorite people to spend time with. We can dive deep into every aspect of our lives, or like on this outing, simply be present to what’s around us. She has a love for nature and an eye for detail, pointing out plants and birds, that I surely would have missed.

These images speak for themselves. I don’t have the words to convey the peace and comfort that I felt as we meandered through the park. No rush, no hurry. From the newly blooming roses to the owl hidden within the tall powerful trees, there was a surprise gift at every turn. Nature is showing off her new Spring outfit, a timeless beauty, made of hope and possibility.
