Happy Earth Day! | Elma Nature Photographer
Happy Earth Day! Instead of doing this blog yesterday, I celebrated by taking my son to Tumwater Falls park for a hike. We had a lot of fun enjoying the gorgeous weather and beautiful scenery.
I have been having some real issues lately with trying to find balance in my life between being a good mom, wife, and also making time to be a great photographer for my clients. Yesterday I was a great mom and wife because I spent the entire day with my son doing things that he really loved. I also had dinner ready for my husband and we had great conversation at the dinner table. I did not, however spend time working on my business yesterday so now I am a bit behind. I also did not spend any time working on housekeeping, so I am behind in that area too.
I know everyone comes to a point in their lives where they need to make some changes to find balance. Right now I am trying to figure out what should be done so that the entire family can be happy. With the arrival of our new bundle of joy at the end of the Summer I will have to be even more diligent about balance.
We will see where life takes me next.
Whatever happens I know what makes me happy and that is nature. I love taking pictures of it and it really makes me happy to be making this blog post of some of my favorite images from the past year.
Enjoy~
I hope we all can get out and enjoy the beauty around us a little more.

I have always loved that mushroom pic. I don't remember the frog. I can't believe it is so little that you can see your fingerprints in that photo. Wish I could give you so advice on the balance thing. Not my strong suit, but I know my kids are happy and most days I am happy too. If you are doing things you love and are with the ones you love all that other stuff sometimes just is not important. -angie
