Can I tell you how much I love this photo? So much calm and simplicity. Taking deep breaths, calming down as I begin my day. Thank you, Kelly!
How sweet are those sunflowers in that jar? Yes, I think it's a gift we get for being photographers. It makes us pay attention and allows us to see things others don't see. Thanks for sharing this!
