Ohhh that’s marvellous!! It’s amazing what we can see on a daily basis when we really look, things we didn’t quite notice in the same way the day before!

It makes life so much richer when you notice the small things that often go unnoticed. For the past 3 years, mostly because of covid, I have spent part of each day photographing things in my backyard: Moss, lichen, butterflies, birds, shadows falling on snow, clouds.

Yay! I also LOVE reflections in glass windows – such a crazy doubling up of images!

I have been noticing reflections on glass buildings and have one picture I want to paint but so far can’t make it work. I also love shooting pictures of snowfall other small things.

So grateful to know I’m not the only one enamored with leaves on the road!

Oh my gosh yes Wendy! Once we start looking deeply, for instance when we are drawing, our whole noticing of things changes! We are attentive to all the small wonderful details that surround us.

I've been "noticing" faces in things as my new habit, and started a second Instagram earlier this year just for fun and giggles. If you're curious check out @para.eidolon. (I also follow only other facefinders on that account so I have a funny place to visit each morning 😂]]> 😀 Great post Gail!

I found that right after I had my first few drawing lessons, way back when, I started noticing things like the orderly fruits and veggies at the grocery store, the patterns of leaves the petals of flowers…so many details! So much to see! It adds so much to the quality of my life to be looking for interesting and beautiful things wherever I am. I really related to this post. Thanks!
