I keep reminding my kids to look around and soak all of this in.
Washington is absolutely breathtaking, when I stop to appreciate it..
The trees, the plants--all of the GREEN is such a stark contrast from what you find in Arizona.
I went to the Bellevue Botanical Garden one afternoon while the P Man was at therapy.
I had a whole hour to just breathe it in.
I just wished I had more than my iphone to capture the beauty with, like maybe I should've brought a professional photographer with me.
I walked the trails, but every once in a while I would stop and pause or find a bench to sit on for a moment.
And that's when I saw it.
In the details.
I noticed individual leaves, drops of water, small flowers, a unique tree branch, the light shining just right through the leaves . . .
I saw more and more.
Just pretty things I hadn't noticed at first when I was hurrying along the trail.
It does me good to stop and just notice occasionally.
What a beautiful world God has created for each of us to enjoy!
Just slow down.
And soak it all in.
