Secret Garden.

In my opinion, I think that you can find a little piece of beauty around every corner. You might not recognize it when you pass by it daily. But if you take a moment to slow down and perceive the changing seasons or the imperfections in man-made goods, you might capture the elegance that is our environment. In other words, 'stop to smell the roses'.

I passed this house where the owners had begun this stone gate, but they did not finish it. With time, the stones began to weather and Mother Nature claimed it for her own. Everyday I passed by this structure on my walk home, never paying much attention to it. Until one day, I stood before it- camera in hand. 'And beauty emerged from the mundane that we call everyday life'.
