Beauty in Every Moment

“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.”
 – Ralph Waldo Emerson 

It is everywhere – in the light shining through the coloured glass,  in moody winter skies, in lavender bush growing through the fence ornament, in the bright-green colour of chopped veggies. Beauty is everywhere around us, and I can’t stop repeating myself that Instagram helps us see it in things we often would just go past without paying much attention.

Or to quickly capture the magic of the morning rainbow that only lasted a minute or so, and to share it with the world. It is so easy to grab your phone and record that moment, to take notice.

Or to have that tiny camera ready in the warm pocket of your down jacket while snowshoeing through a blizzard in The Remarkables.

We have just spent the most amazing week in one the dearest to my heart places – the South Island of New Zealand. Stay tuned for more pictures from the photographer’s paradise! There definitely will be more than one blog post about our adventures there. But for now, here are a few Instagram moments of my July:
