This is the back of our rental. At first glance, it's daggy, dull and in need of renovation. Pick up a camera and you'll see interesting patterns (latticework), textures (flaky paint), shades of white and a place to display the hydrangeas. It's a new way of looking at things and one of the many reasons I'm drawn to photography.
