One of the many creatures that visits my local lake is the Blue Heron. It’s a treat to see one, but they’re rarely close enough to see. But on this occasion, it decide to catch dinner near the shoreline! Luckily I had my camera with me, so I was able to snap several photos. I watched the bird as it would carefully look into the water and then quickly lower its beak in to catch some fish. I couldn’t tell if it was successful or not, but I enjoyed watching it nonetheless. It’s amazing to see nature in action. Have a nature lover in your life? Next time you see amazing wildlife take a picture and give it as a gift. Nature is a beautiful thing, so why not give the gift of its beauty in your very own photo?

The Shimmering Lake
To the right is a picture I took of my local lake on a sunny day. I love how the rays of the sun shine on the water, while above is blue sky and sunshine. You have to be in the right place at the right time to get a shot like this, but when you do it’s so worth it! This is the type of photo that would be great to frame and display in any area of your home. You can also use the colors in the photo as an inspiration when chosing a theme for your accessories. As I’ve said in a previous post, you can get great inspiration from the colors found in nature. Have a local body of water? Whether a lake, ocean, marina, or creek, you can get a great photo of nature to inspire your decor!
Looking Up Through the Trees
There’s nothing like looking up at the clouds on a sunny day! I thought this picture, taken looking up through my Vine Maple, was a great shot. You can see the beautiful green leaves against the backdrop of clouds and crisp blue sky. This type of photo would be a great addition to a bedroom or any other space that needs a pop of color. You can display a smaller photo on a shelf, or use a larger poster-size print. Sometimes it’s the simplest images that can give your space the pop of color it needs.
African Starfish
As I made my way through the aquarium something caught my eye…a starfish! Not just any starfish, but a red and blue African Starfish! These colors are part of another great decorating theme: nautical. If you can’t re-do your entire space, spruce it up with accessories. Striped pillows with hues of red, blue, and white, nautical flags, pictures of trips to the ocean or aquarium, anchors, and other ocean-themed items. Once again, a simple photo can be the inspiration for an updated space!
