Perspective

Tree bark has such an awesome texture!

Someday, I want to take one of those really awesome pictures like you see in magazines where the person is in the woods and looking up and all the trees are leaning in towards the center of the picture.

That was a really long sentence. I apologize.

It's kind of cool how when you're really close up to something, you can't tell what it might be but when you zoom out a little bit, you're suddenly like "oh duh, it's an Oreo cookie dunked in milk!"

(That actually happened today... one of my photographer friends posted a really-super-close-up picture of an Oreo on Facebook, and my mom and I thought it was mud... my seven year-old brother took one look at it and said IT'S AN OREO COOKIE MOM. I was kind of ashamed of myself...)

Anybody seen the movie Soul Surfer? The youth leader (Carrie Underwood) talks about this at one point, and although it was a rather cheesy part of the movie (I thought so anyway), it does have some truth to it. Sometimes you need to take a step back from a bad situation so you can find the good in the whole picture. Get some perspective.

I hope that made a smidgeon of sense to some people.

Have an awesome day everyone!
