Untitled 3

I was kind of blue during the early pandemic months and decided to do a nature photo project to lift my spirits. Between December 2020 and December 2021, I took many nature photos, and about once a week, I posted one of my favorites on social media. The plane in winter photo has the most detail on it. The air was so clear and crisp that day. The pear blossoms bloom every spring at the apartment complex where I live. I wanted to get a closeup of them. The pond and island is at one of my favorite places to go, Brookside Gardens in Montgomery County, MD. It's a place of respite for me. I see deer often at the apartment complex, and I think that doe was pregnant. Fall here can be glorious with color, and, once again, the deer crept in. The sunset I like because it was so close to being completely dark out. My year-long project gave me so much comfort during the early pandemic days.
