In Quarantine

Throughout this quarantine time, I have found that there are things that I need, lots and lots of coffee (like is it noon yet so I can have my afternoon coffee?), and there are things that I don’t need as much as I once thought, like going to the store just to get out.  While I miss the freedom of just being out and doing my own thing I am finding joy hanging out in the backyard by myself and having a little bit of just me time.

I have come to believe that there are never enough flowers and plants in my life. As Arizona was starting the official quarantine I realized that many of my flowering plants weren’t actually flowering, and how during a time like this, where we would all be staying home together, that I would probably need a bit of a mental break and would really want flowers to photograph. Thankfully, the weather is still nice and there are many wildflowers that just popped up (my dad always calls those volunteers) in my backyard. In the evening I have been going out to photograph them in the beautiful golden hour sunlight.

This is what is getting me through this quarantine, flowers in the evening! What is getting you through this time at home? Are you leaning on previous skills and hobbies or are you learning something new?
