Favorite Still Life From July

Filed Under: Photography

I love this photo because of sparkles and the water bokeh.

 I have really been in a photography rut lately. I hope I dig out of it soon. I just have not been very creative or taking many photos. Hopefully that will change.

    If I had taken that shot it would have been my favourite aswell - love the glint from the sun and that delicious bokeh.

    Excellent choice! I love everything about this. The haze makes me feel the summer humidity, but doesn't keep the droplet from being clear and sparkilng. I keep scrolling up to look again! ;) Love it!

    I know what you mean. I got a new camera and haven't taken nearly as many pictures as I want to, but it is so hot. The kids have been extra clingy and whiny this week with the new adjustment. Yourehot we will both get out of it. At least we have each other.

    Gorgeous photo and great choice. Love the sparkles and I've been trying to capture some water drops lately so I know how hard it is to get an image like this.

    I like the sparkles! In May & June I was feeling the same way- no photo inspiration. Things started inspiring me again this month. You'll get out of that rut soon chica. Alita

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
