About three months ago I posted a panoramic shot of my parents’ backyard. It was a pretty crappy one, so a while later, I took some better photos on a nice sunny day and put them together in Photoshop. The above result has been sitting in my drafts ever since.
I miss that backyard quite a bit actually. The only thing that would make the photo more true to life would be a herd of deer in the middle. My new place doesn’t have a balcony or anything, so I don’t spend nearly as much time outside relaxing as I used to. But, even if I did, it wouldn’t be the same. I’d be people watching instead of nature watching, and as fun as that is, I actually live in a nice neighborhood. People watching isn’t nearly as fun when you don’t have anything to make fun of.
Those thirty or so minutes I spent sitting outside every morning were actually far more beneficial to me than I had realized, so I think I’m going to have to find some new relaxing thing to do first thing in the mornings.
…
And, after at least three minutes of staring blankly at my screen, I think I may have decided on something. If I start it, and I keep up with it, you’ll surely hear about it.
