adventure is waiting

did you know that an adventure is waiting for you in your own backyard?
instead of dreaming of foreign places, why don't you open your back door and head outside.
just grab your camera, a notebook and pens, or whatever makes you happy, and go document your ordinary adventure. make note of all the little flowers around your house, the dew drops in the morning, and capture the messy and boring things that make life beautiful.

“I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”  ― L.M. Montgomery
