can't believe it's been a year.
almost exactly a year later, to the day, that i took the first version of this shot...
it's been an amazing year living in this barn on this farm, and it's going to be bittersweet leaving it next month.
while i may not be residing in it and waking up with the alpacas for much longer (for now...), i'll suspect I'll still be here working with Flying Dutchman Alpacas on many a floofy project we have planned.
it's been a wild ride this unexpected-covid-pivot-move-6-times-in-the-middle-of-the-plague year, but it looks like it's might just work out after all.
many lessons.
many many lessons.
always trust yourself, and outside of that, be careful who and in what you put your trust.
when you get a 'feeling'
don't ignore those.
your gut tells you things for a reason.
and always, ALWAYS, make time to step away.
there's always something bigger than us guiding us out there.
perspective is more often than not the missing ingredient.
and perspective reveals all.
all.
cannot express enough gratitude to amanda of flying dutchman alpacas and her family for providing me with this safe haven of opportunity through perhaps the most challenging 18 months of my existence so far.
it's been truly unforgettable and i can't wait to see what we do together from here on out.

if you'd like to purchase any of my prints to bring nature into your home while most of us can't really get out into nature ourselves, during this time of weirdness, 15% of all proceeds will be split between GlobalGiving's COVID relief fund, and Ecology in Classrooms & Outdoors (ECO) , the non-profit I work with that connects kids to nature by bringing ecology education to kids in underserved communities.
