I was 25 when I brought home my last paycheck! At an age I planned on advancing my careers / formal education, I found myself tackling the challenging, non-financially compensating, yet rewarding experience of motherhood. Just as Mother Nature nurtures her children, I embraced raising healthy, kind, responsible little humans. This journey has not been easy. It is often lonely, depressing, and full of self-doubt. The 8 pictures in my “Nature Companion” collection are each relatable mini lessons that my companion, Mother Nature, taught me.
This collection comprises pictures of flowers, leaves, or trees from my neighborhood or from a botanical garden in my city. In my hunt for flowers and insects in my environment, I often discover and appreciate interesting textures, shadows, reflections, and symmetry around me.
