Although it's supposed to be lazy-hazy summertime, it seems that I'm in the midst of another "good-busy" patch.
I'm wrapping up teaching my nature photography course this week. This is the fourth time I've run it, and my heart is practically bursting with gratitude to have had yet another group of enthusiastic, perfectly lovely students. The worry-wart in me keeps waiting for some ridiculously horrid person to sign up for one of my courses, but so far, everybody has been just so...nice!
(Oh, dear... Did I just jinx it by writing that? Luckily, I'm the least superstitious person I know.)
In the midst of winding up the course, I'm also heading to BlogHer15 for the weekend to pick up a photography award. (Still can't really believe it, and I don't think I will truly believe it until I have the actual award in my hot little hands. Maybe they've made a mistake?!)
As I type this, I'm gazing out the window at some crazy weeds, having their way with our garden. How about we just pretend for now that I'm cultivating a classic English garden and all of the curling tendrils and brazen outgrowths are there on purpose? (Yes, let's go with that plan.)
I have to admit, the weeds have a certain charm. Some of them are downright photogenic. Let's just call them "wildflowers." (There, I feel better about them already.)
I find, oftentimes, that a little chaos--just a little, not too much!--can sweeten the days. And these summer days are sweet and fleeting.
