When I was younger, I actually had the spare time to do things such as painting.

I loved watercolors best. I still have many of my old watercolor paintings, tucked away in my large art folder. I pull them out every few years and show the kids.

I always dreamed of a day that I could paint beautiful landscapes that I would see with my own eyes first, then turn into paintings.

Now I have the beautiful landscapes I’ve seen with my own two eyes in person,

but no spare time to paint!

So I snap photos instead,

BUT, I dare not complain about having no time to paint!

It’s only due to my life being so full of other kinds of landscape photos instead,

those filled not just with the beauty of the surroundings,

but the beauty of those I love as well!
