The sky is the daily bread of the eyes.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I was finishing up an assignment when Z called out to me gleefully. She had opened the door window and was gazing up to the sky as dozens of leaves started falling from the sky. I grabbed my camera and captured the falling-from-the-sky-leaves.
Z’s new toys
this isn’t in Black & White, this was actually how grey the sky was!
falling leaves!
evergreens looking on with amusement at the trees losing their leaves!
Baby A’s new playground of leaves
love blue on girls!
“Not a leaf falls, but He knows it. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth nor anything fresh or dry but is written in a clear record.” – (Quran 6:59).
When I doodle, whether it be swirls or figurines, I am transformed to a world in which my doodles live, and my thoughts become clear. My mind breathes.
I used to teach second grade. Now, I am a Stay-At-Home-Mother to three girls, an Atlanta based children-family-lifestyle photographer, and an author of Lailah’s Lunchbox (Tilbury House Publishing, 2015.) I have two new picture books projected for 2021: Amira's Picture Day (Holiday House, 2021) and I Can Help (Eerdmans, 2021) as well as my debut middle grade novel Unsettled (HarperCollins 2021).
Thank you for stopping by!
