Most of my photos make me feel grateful. They remind me of a time I was enjoying doing something or was in the presence of someone or something I really appreciate. Looking at each photo for more than a few seconds–taking the time to soak them in–can ground me and calm my mind. Much like music, my photos tweak the chemicals being released in my brain. An anxious or down Michael can begin to feel a little bit better.
On top of that, it’s winter. The ground is frozen. There’s a dusting of snow. The roads are slippery. Tonight, the temperature will plunge. And walking outside is painful: the wind hurts my skin and all my muscles tighten up. (I hate winter.)
So, today, I’m sharing some of my favorite garden (and its produce) photos. Calming my mind and bringing me back to the wonderful days of summer.
