what if you let your wardrobe choices be guided by nature? i've paired some of my recent spring photos with a few fun clothes + accessories.

winter colours

jan at poppytalk is hosting another winter colours week starting on monday. i am always so inspired by the photography that emerges during these seasonal flickr pools, and it got me thinking about the colours i've been seeing in nature recently. since starting my 365 project, i've been snapping a lot of flora, it is just something that draws my eye. these are just a few that i've taken this past couple of weeks.

inspiration :: seasons in bc

thought i'd share some of my photos from the past year or so, month by month, to give you a little taste of the natural surroundings that inspire me on a daily basis. i think i live in one of the most scenically beautiful corners of the earth. i love that i can call british columbia my home.

etsy imagery :: pebble grey

we spent the afternoon yesterday at a local park, where the kids spent a good deal of time playing on the pebbly beach, throwing rocks in the water and playing with the smooth + rounded pebbles. for my etsy imagery this week, i thought i'd share some pebble greys. the felt pebbles have been one of my favourite items for a long long time.
