It has been dry for the past few days, and I find it a bit frustrating because the plants are not receiving any good watering lately. I can see how the garden feels different when there is not enough rain. The leaves do not look as fresh, and the soil seems to be waiting for moisture again.
Still, I decided to go outside and take some photos. Even during dry days, there is still beauty to notice. The flowers are still trying to bloom, and the leaves still show interesting shapes and textures. That is one thing I appreciate about nature. It continues to exist quietly, even when the condition is not perfect.
In these black-and-white photos, I like how the flowers stand out against the darker background. The petals look soft, while the leaves around them look a little rough and tired. That contrast made the photos more meaningful to me. It feels like a simple reminder that beauty can still be found even when things are not at their best.
Hopefully there will be rain this weekend so the plants can improve more. Rain may be inconvenient sometimes, especially when we want to go outside, but it is also a blessing for the garden. It refreshes the plants, cools the air, and brings back life to the surroundings.
This walk reminded me to appreciate both sunny and rainy days. Each kind of weather has its own purpose. For now, I’m thankful I was able to take these photos and spend a quiet moment with nature.
Have a good day ahead.
