So last week, as you may have heard, we went to the Boboli Gardens, which was especially nice. The gardens were quite relaxing and beautiful and we were given time to explore them individually. It was a great photography day, and for the next assignment we had to pick something we chose to explore (a photo, drawing, thought) and refine it. I picked a photograph I had of a reflection in the water, redrew it in my sketchbook with colored pencils and then added a caption. The caption reflects something I have personally been struggling with for awhile now. I often find myself in awe of nature and its sheer beauty, but I feel that anything I do to replicate the feeling I get fails utterly in comparison. The reflection in the lake fragments the trees and the scenery around it, much like in a series of brushstrokes -- so even here, nature is better at painting itself than I am of it.
