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.

    totally love this. time to stop the constant dreaming of an exotic-travel-future and just head outside. so much can be found right out the door.

    That kitten made my heart skip a beat. I forever hate my cat allergies.

    Thanks for the inspiration, Gracie!
