Yesterday was a simply beautiful day here in the Northeastern US, so I went for a walk with my camera. The most inspiring thing I found while wandering? The colors in my front yard.

My youngest son and I planted a whole bunch of tulips, daffodils, and crocuses last fall, and they bloomed like gang busters this spring. Somehow, we managed to come up with a mix that really complemented the existing azalea.

I think this color combination will work great for a story about one of my neighbor’s kids, who is bold and bright and full of energy, rather like these colors.

How about you? Did you find anything inspiring?
