Crushing On Nature

Ever since I began developing the characters and scenes for one of the recent children's books I've been illustrating, my appreciation for nature has considerably grown. My eyes are constantly roaming to and fro on our daily walks, taking in every intricate detail nature has to offer. It's so wonderfully peaceful and enjoyable, especially watching the adorable rabbits playing, zigzagging back and forth from one backyard to another.

As we meander through various little greenbelts in our neighborhood, it's like taking an adventure into our own secret garden. We duck under low hanging trees and slip between flowering bushes, occasionally pausing to snap photos of flowers so incredibly breathtaking. In fact, if you look closely at the illustrations in this particular upcoming book, you just might find tiny snippets of such flowers and gardens weaved throughout, bringing each poem to life.

So, don't mind me and my ongoing collection of lovely flowers as I'm currently, crushing on nature.
