Blurry pictures

I recently started taking pictures of beautiful flowers, trees and structures around town.

I recently started taking pictures of beautiful flowers, trees, and structures around town. However, when I am walking briskly or in a moving vehicle, my camera can't focus on the trees, so the pictures I capture end up being blurry.

I initially deleted the blurry pictures from my phone, but over time, I have left them as they equally have their abstract beauty.

Learning a lesson or two from the blurry pictures on my phone took little time. Sometimes, the current snapshot of our lives looks blurry and lacks the obvious beauty we seek. Still, over time, we will appreciate the blurriness and abstractness of those pictures of our life as they make us grateful for the clear, high-definition pictures we are used to. A blurry picture could be anything in your life that is far from perfect. We all have them, and we hope they go away and get better and clearer, but while they are there, rather than delete them like they don't exist, let us stop to improve them, like taking a pause when walking, hopping from the bus or waiting for the bus to stop so we get a clearer picture.

A blurry picture of a beautiful tree doesn't mean the tree is ugly or unsteady. It only means the picture could have been better captured. So are those moments in our lives; our beauty doesn't disappear because of one blurry image. Do not let a particular picture of you define who you are; you are much more than that picture. That situation, job or whatever it is will get clear. You will excel, and a better photograph will be taken at another time, and then you will understand why that blurry picture was part of the gallery. A blurry picture is a phase it sure will pass, too.

It is a beautiful, blurry picture.

When the Jacaranda trees sprouted colourfully, I paused to capture it.

Happy New Year, stay focused and capture beautiful pictures.
Love and light.
