The days are feeling longer and the sun is starting to shine... I find being out in nature the perfect tonic for clearing the mind. When the days feel brighter and the fresh spring shoots are appearing everywhere you look, there is a feeling of optimism and excitement. Do you feel it too?
I spotted a cluster of snowdrops stood small but mighty against the backdrop of a bright spring sunset. They were delicate yet so strong, withstanding the sharp spring breeze. The first flowers to burst through the hard, icy soil... one of my absolute favourites!
The sound of this little stream was so calming...
Being out in the fresh air, being reminded that longer, brighter days are coming was the perfect way to spend the day!
Textures were on my radar... turkey work stitched and snipped and ruffled would work well to create this fuzzy texture; inspiration was everywhere!
