Those pictures turned out beautiful! Especially the first one, with the blinding light coming from one side, tuning out the petals on that side.
The third one is my second favorite, the lighting makes it special, so many layers.
About the rest - I always tell my daughter that "no master has yet fallen from the sky", a German proverb. She gets frustrated quickly and sometimes doesn't realize all the progress she already made. This week we're working on writing and spelling, and she's learning very quickly. But as soon as she's stuck, she wants to throw everything away, immediately stops to focus, making it worse, and then gets a little dramatic over it. Fortunately, a little hug and breathing slowly calms her down, and suddenly she realizes that she knew the answer.
Sometimes, we're all just little children, which is fine I guess. My tantrums are different now. Rants about politics and society and everything going wrong is my refuge, when I need a break from that exhausting introspective work. I wish it was gardening, though, sounds much more productive. I hope you'll get those beds done, and have some home-grown peonies, soon.
I like that one also.
Now this sounds familiar!! My daughter does it very much like this - and so do I! ;D
I think we need a better outlet for life frustration. Hopefully gardening will help me, but I am not sure it is enough. What do you think would be better for you?
I do most of the things that are a good outlet. More social life might help, working on that. Gardening, too, but I just can't get into a routine there. Maybe I have to put it on our week planer, a gardening day for me. I already to quite a bit of exercise.
Writing does help, though. And I don't have to be productive in everything I do. So I'll just keep on with that - the bonus is that it helps another outlet, the playful one, the game.
