Last month, my wife Rafaela said something profound that deeply resonated with me: 

"I want to create my reality from my heart, not from my mind." 

In March I photographed a bench, a cherry plum tree, a canal, a swan disappearing into dark water, and some dried grass that moved like waves. 

Nothing dramatic. Just ordinary moments from an ordinary month. 

But that's what I keep coming back to — beauty doesn't wait for better times. It's already here, asking to be noticed. 

Sometimes all it takes is stopping long enough to look. 

Have a look at the images here.
