Today’s creative challenge was to go on an inspiration hunt and take photos to use as inspiration for future projects. So, the girls and I decided to do some exploring in a nearby town that we haven’t visited yet.
Although I am in love with grungy, gritty, city scenes; there is none of that in our new area. So, it was tough for me to pick up on things to get inspiration from.
First, we went to a historical park. We found this interesting tree we’ve never seen before. I love the soft feathery texture!
Rock walls are always inspiring to me!
I even found something grungy! I just love the texture and colors on this antique train wheel!
After some sight seeing, we stopped at the local park. I loved the beach scenes they used to decorate the playscape!
The color combo of teal, blue, light grey, and dark grey is pretty neat too. (Plus I love the circles!)
They even had a rainbow splash pad! Yay! lol I love the reflection.
Shapes inside of shapes…
And I just have to share with you this pic of my three cute girls. I loved seeing all three of them in a row with the three graduating swings! :) It was a cherished moment.
After dinner, we attended a program at the Library where we learned all about fireflies. The girls even got to do a craft decorating jars with glow in the dark paint to use as firefly catchers.
When it got dark, we took a walk to find some. We found a few fireflies flickering in the trees, and we all had our doubts that we were actually going to catch one. But one came along that stayed just a tiny bit lit so that we could follow it as it flied along. The three of us were giggling uncontrollably as we chased the firefly down the street trying to catch him. (We even got yelled at by one neighbor for being too loud! Ooops! lol) But we finally captured him in our jar, and we had a magical moment watching him up close!
Today was a good day. :)
Tomorrow, I think I’ll try to create something from one of my inspiration photos.
Don't miss a single, inspiring thing!
