The past few days felt a little incomplete. I was busy, caught up in things that needed my attention, and I wasn’t able to take photos or even go out for a proper walk. It may sound small, but missing those moments felt strange. Photography and walking have become quiet parts of my routine, and when they’re absent, I can feel the difference.
Today, I made sure to change that. I went down to the garden with the intention of slowing down and finding something worth capturing. I didn’t need anything grand, just a few moments of calm and observation. That’s when I noticed the leaves, still holding tiny droplets of water. Simple, quiet, and easy to miss, yet full of character.
These photos focus on details rather than scenes. The curve of a leaf, the way light falls on its surface, and the stillness of water resting there. In black and white, the mood feels deeper and more reflective. The absence of color allows texture and contrast to speak more clearly, turning ordinary leaves into something almost meditative.
Walking is a big part of my day, and this walk felt especially meaningful. It wasn’t just about movement, but about returning to something familiar. Being able to take photos again brought a sense of relief, like picking up a conversation where it was paused.
Today’s set may be simple, but it represents more than that. It’s about showing up, even after a few missed days, and finding comfort in small moments once again.
Have a good day ahead.
