Macro Photography: A Nature Reset for Your Soul

This past weekend was my birthday. My heart was so filled with joy with our long weekend. The golf course, home, beach, macro back road tour.

I took a lot of photos of family, which I love, it reminds me of the photos I cherish of our kids growing up. The pure innocence of children is like a breath of fresh air. The toddler negotiations, when those happen, ah takes me right back 😉 But I don’t share those publicly, I did snap this one which I love. The geese are gathering at the point and someone enjoys the sunshine on the sand down the beach.

It was a beautiful fall weekend, cool evenings and warm days.

This afternoon I had mentioned to my husband that I would like to go on a photo tour. Sometimes I just need that little bit of a reset and that does the creative boost just right.

With each “thing” we celebrate or embrace, its one of those firsts, reminders of what will never be. Previous communication, meaning everything and especially the here and now. Capturing, the moments, for one day they will be memories.

I said it to him, and then didn’t act on it. Continued to sit on the couch on the deck. My legs were beginning to feel restless, got up and walked around, didn’t calm them. Finally I grabbed my camera and said lets go.

Just when I was beginning to feel frustrated that the beautiful roadside wild flowers were gone, we opened up to this.

“Spiritually, bees symbolize hard work, community, fertility, and prosperity, representing wisdom and a connection to the divine or universal spirit. They are often seen as messengers between worlds and serve as a reminder to embrace change, focus on collective well-being, and harness one’s inner strengths for personal growth and transformation.” Google

When we were golfing the other night, a beautiful fox ran up the course beside us and through to the next hole. I had thought to bring my camera, and unfortunately ignored that desire, so I have the joy of a mental memory of its beauty.

“A fox crossing your path spiritually signifies the importance of wisdom, resourcefulness, and adapting to change. It serves as a guide to trust your instincts and intuition when facing decisions or complex projects, encouraging clever thinking and a new perspective on your current circumstances. The appearance of a fox can also be a warning to be aware of deceptive people or situations, or an invitation to embrace your playful, wild nature and find harmony between work and play.” Google
