Every time I go on a trip that puts me near water and out of the desert, I always ask myself, ‘How can I capture this moment?’ ‘How can I have this serenity at home?’…Is it truly just a matter of *choosing* to be serene?? I battle with this.
In Mexico, there was a waterfall outside our hotel room. Today, in the quiet morning, I heard a familiar sound and realized my neighbor’s pool (hidden behind our brick wall) has a waterfall. So, there’s that.
Thank you for sharing and for the reminder that we are all in this together, not alone.
This is so beautiful, Lindsey! Reminding me I am on holy ground wherever I am. There is something really special about being outdoors in wild places. I love your artwork also. Thanks so much for sharing!
Really beautiful; calming really.

The neighbor's hidden waterfall is really speaking to my soul tonight!
This was a beautiful, dreamy read. Perfect for the first days of fall weather. xx
Thanks for reading, Stefanie! Hope you're having a dreamy Saturday!
This is exactly what I needed to read today and a reminder that my own sketchbook is only one drawer away. Thank you Lindsey!
Happy sketching!
Beautiful. The sentiment you described really reminded me of my absolute favourite poem, Great Things Have Happened. https://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/index.php%3Fdate=2012%252F12%252F04.html 💕
Ahh! I'd never read this poem before. So beautiful. Thank you!
In this post, not only a painting of a cherished moment, but also a heartfelt painting of words.
Thanks for reading, Amie! 💗

Thanks, Syd! So kind!
Thank you for such a great read!
My favorite dad adventures have always been spontaneous wanderings with the kids. We get lost in the details.
Nothing beats a good wander!
Beautiful as always, thank you for the reminder!

Thanks, Joe! I find myself looking up mountain cottages for sale every time I leave. Maybe it’s only a matter of time...
