Just Some Pretty Things to Look At

Some days, the words just kind of come out of my fingers. Other days, I sit at my laptop, scrolling through my phone or opening new tabs or virtual window shopping, ignoring the task at hand. My mind even went to that crazy place that it can go when I really don’t feel like doing something—pretending I actually *did* write a blog post, but the Internet did something funny to it and it never posted. Oh no! How could that be? But I always reign in the nutso excuse-making thoughts right in time. I personally think you have to let your mind go there so you can hear yourself and your inane fabrications to move forward. Trust me, I do this nearly every morning in bed before getting up and going to work. Wait…am I the only one?

Anyhow, today is one of those days, and instead of writing about how I don’t want to write because no one cares enough to read that, I’ll just share some pretty photos instead, because at least some of you will care. I’ll take 35% over 0%, you know? I tend to save things for numerous reasons: I like the colors, I like one architectural aspect of a room pictured, I like the styling, I like how dramatic a tree branch is placed in a vase just so. Sometimes, I can’t even say why a photo grabs me, but it’s just something I feel deep in my belly. So, here’s a collection of nine recent photos I had a guttural reaction to, for one reason or another (if you want to see them larger, just click on each image!):
