To smell the roses

Stop and smell the roses. If you happen to be in a garden with roses then it is all the more apt. But if not, really just stop the rush and craziness, and take to the outdoors. Relax. We can’t help that it is a time of year where everyone is insanely busy, rushing from one family event to the next, and let’s not forget all the Christmas shopping.

This afternoon I took some time out to walk around my Dad’s garden to find some visual inspiration seeing that I haven’t had my camera out since arriving in Johannesburg last week. It has been such a rush so I decided I had better keep the fire burning before I get too overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle. Since I love nature and the outdoors… and dogs… I thought there would be no better place to start.
