eyecandy : botanical garden

with august just around the corner, it reminds of how important it is to enjoy each moment that we have... recently, during a visit to santa barbara, i decided on a whim to just close my computer and go enjoy an afternoon in some greenery. that split second decision ended up being so powerful in that it allowed for not only much needed relaxation, but the room to let thoughts flow without any restrictions. nature is indeed very nurturing. 

i have to keep reminding myself that sometimes it's just better to put aside what you're doing to enjoy some quiet time with yourself.
