With my grandparents on my mind after my last post, I thumbed through my photographs and came across one of a ladybug that I snapped while at the Frances E. Walter Dam the Fall before last. All that majestic scenery surrounding me and there I was, concentrating on a tiny bug crawling on a rock. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely snapped tons of pics of the surroundings, but something small, like a lady bug is what I want more people to notice. The little things. The minuscule bit of life that at the time, in the moment doesn't seem to mean very much but years later, you may realize that the little things ARE what make everything special and memorable. Right away, I thought of my grandmother. That itty bitty bug that I just needed to photograph has me now reminiscing about my beloved Nana. See... the little things. She adored ladybugs. And so with that image in hand, I grabbed a fitting stamp and created a card with her in mind: "There's Always a Reason to Smile"  Yo...

It was -5°F this morning. There is snow on the ground. We've been stuck in this arctic air for what seems like an eternity now. As much as I'd love to be out exploring, hiking with my husband and rescue pup, that's just not possible right now. So instead, I've been creating. Creating cards with the images I captured during the warmer weather. Remembering all the fun times, every magical moment... and those memories will sustain me until we are able to get out and about again. As I put my newest creations together today, I can't help but hope... hope that my photographs will bring others joy. That they will be sent and given with love. I picture the smiles they bring to faces that I'll never see. That they bring people together and help them connect in a way that many of us have seem to have forgotten how to do. To me, a hand-written note or a card chosen specifically for a certain person because it "spoke" to the person giving it... that's specia...

Nestled in the stunning Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, my love of photography became more than a hobby. It became a passion. With endless beauty surrounding me, I felt the drive to capture all of it. Never leaving a trace, never doing any harm... I capture with my lens. Nature inspires me. It calms me. It grounds me. It makes me who I am. I am a true nature lover. Be it majestic landscapes, incredible wildlife or something small like dewdrops on a flower petal, I want to share it all with you. Beauty is all around us. You just have to stop, breathe and look around. It's truly amazing out there!  Nature is inspiring. Follow me on my adventures of discovering beautiful places and creating new art with the images I capture. Bring Nature indoors through my photographs. Share it and connect with others through my photo note and greeting cards. Decorate your home with it. Marvel at this world that YOU are a part of.  JennysrainbowPhoto On Etsy
