Before we begin, let me tell you that I’m excited to be part of Becky’s collaborative post answering the question: “How is your work inspired by your experience as a mom?” Head to Raising Loveliness to read lots of beautiful answers.

It’s time for another Photo-Heart Connection! Haven’t done it before? You can learn more about how to find your Photo-Heart Connection here.  Kat talks about “making a commitment to connect art with heart” and invites anyone and everyone to add photography or artwork to the monthly connections.

I could not stop myself from taking photo after photo of this half-frozen creek when we were in Boulder in February.  I literally have hundreds of photos that I took within a three-hour span.  The whole of it was stunning to me.  The mountains majestic and full of strength, the ice smooth and thick, and the placement of the trees and stones and plants perfect.  I marvel at nature constantly, and here I witnessed it changing yet again as the ice chunks melted into water that was swept along.

I kid you not, there literally were heart-shaped stalactites hanging from one block of ice.

Feel free to peruse my other Boulder photos in this post from last week.  I felt blessed to witness this beauty that caught my heart so much.  Thanks for reading!

      Thank you! I can’t help myself really. When I see a bridge over a creek, I feel this pull to capture it. Seems so romantic really, you know?
