Beautifully said, as always. I’m going to think about what my ‘deer’ is for a bit. It could be my sweet hubby. I definitely take him for granted, and he deserves to be treated with wonder. I think we definitely take the people we’re closest to for granted and forget how special they are. Nature, for me, even when I see it every day is a wonder and awe inspiring and we should never feel silly for admiring it. Love you. 💜
Hi Jen, love your article. I will always be a “tourist” whether it is in my own backyard or a place I have never been to. I am in awe of the world that God has created. The quote you mentioned “Noticing leads to wonder. Wonder leads to gratitude,” is how I feel when I see a majestic tree shooting high in the sky, or a dove cooing in my yard. RAINBOWS!! How can one not be a tourist when standing by the powerful waters of the Niagara Falls! Right now I am watching from inside my house a wren go back and forth with tiny sticks in her mouth to build a nest in a ceramic bird house. One stick at a time she builds her nest. Though I live on a busy street, I am thankful to hear the tweets of the birds. Their tweets make me wonder what they are communicating to each other. Pictures tell a story of God’s wonderful creation and I will always tell HIS story through my pictures.

I agree, we definitely take the people closest to us for granted, it’s unfortunately so easy to do. But I love that he could be your deer ❤️❤️
