The caterpillar grows wings during a season of isolation 🐛🦋 . Two months of staying at home in a new reality where social distancing has become the norm. A time for reflection and re-learning to be present in the moment. A chance to observe and notice the little details. See the beauty in the shape of a flower, listen to the bird's songs, get lost while watching the clouds changing in the sky, hear the tree leaves shake as the wind blows. For all of us who are lucky enough to have our health, a roof over our heads and the security of knowing that our loved ones are all ok and safe this is a chance to take a step back and evaluate priorities on what matters in life. Be creative, learn and be grateful for all we already have. . . #bepresentinthemoment #grateful #lockdown2020 #dailyphoto #flowersofinstagram #staysafe #passionpassport #reflections #photoeveryday #capturedmoments #britishsummer #flowerstagram #natgeodailyshot #thoughtoftheday #macrophotography #macrophotographer #lookclosely #orchids #photooftheday #dailyart #dailymemes

Lockdown memories Feeling lucky to live close to nature and be able to enjoy the sunshine by the river. Yes, travelling to remote parts of the world is not possible right now and that will probably be the case for a while. But when life gives you lemons, you make a lemonade. So I'm using the time to rediscover places closer to home. Find the right book, and you can be back on adventures as far away as your imagination will take you. . . #bepresentinthemoment #lockdown2020 #dailyphoto #booksofinstagram #traveltips #passionpassport #reflections #photoeveryday #capturedmoments #britishsummer #humanityshots #natgeodailyshot #read #bookrecommendation #booklover
