I've slowly realized that my backyard has a completely different feel to it. I knew there'd be an inevitable change because of nature but it's slowly turned into a strange place for me. When I use to look I saw the rare green that's seen in Nevada; the beautiful flourishing garden; the overall calmness in the environment. Now when I go out there I see leaves littering the dying grass and the garden shriveling in on itself. It's not as welcoming as it use to be.
I'm trying to take pictures every other day or so to see the change over time and when I look at the first picture compared to the most recent, it doesn't look the same. I found this video on it showing a tree bloom in less than a month (m.youtube.com/watch?v=loHgnJYPYso). It fascinates me how fast nature changes.
There are also videos on YouTube about people taking pictures everyday for a certain amount of days and the change is crazy. Everyday things are changing but they're so little no one ever notices until they look back. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing that things just go by without anyone noticing. Not everyone is eager to watch a leaf change a slight shade of green, or a person's face looking a little older than it did the day before. If there's one thing I've gotten from my garden, other than food, it's to slow down and enjoy watching the little things.

I was also comparing the picture that I took fro the very beginning to now, the change is big; at the beginning the tree was green and now it's yellow. I like your post.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you are describing your garden and how you are taking pictures of it everyday to notice the change. Sometimes the eye does not capture every single detail.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you describe everything its great! I love the two pictures you took it's beautiful and also how you compared it. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI like how you can really see the difference of the garden and how the weather or seasons actually affect it. Also how you thought of taking pictures to compare them.
ReplyDeleteI liked the pictures you posted. There is a lot of differences between the pictures. There is not a lot of difference if you're constantly looking at something, but if you take pictures and look at them in the future you can see a huge difference in them. This blog is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI know what it's like to have a small change unnoticed. But even if not many appreciate the small changes, you should always know that some will, no matter how small the amount of observers there are.
