Still-Life Photographs

I turned off my music this morning to hear some heavy rain pattering outside on the rocks. I tucked my pants into my shoes and walked outside to inspect the unwanted Summer rain. Upon further investigation, I noticed the gardeners who had been here a few days ago had disposed of one of my tiny plants. It was an adorable pink and green leafy plant that I had bought as a little leafy sprout. It had grown a great deal since the time I acquired it, so I was a little disappointed to see it missing. They also broke a jar and got rid of all the luxurious moss growing on the rocks outside our door. The moss I had carefully peeled a heart out of. I hope to grab a few remaining specimens before we move so I can start a few moss terrariums for our new home.

While outside I gazed warmly on my big golden peacock chair. Spraypainted gold, a few wicker flourishes broken or missing, but still an amazing piece. I had bought it at a set-dec sale a few years ago. I got a little inspired.

I quickly grabbed some flowers I had cut from the garden (all of which had been weed-whacked later the same day by the gardeners), a tea light, and my teapot and brought them outside.

I got some nice light. I love taking pretty, simple photos like these. They're nice to look at and I get to create something :)

I hope you enjoy them!
