How Time in Nature Helps Me Be A Better Mom

Close-up nature photograph looking upward through a leafy tree canopy toward a cluster of small warm yellow-orange flowers. The flower cluster hangs near the upper center-right from thin green stems and contains several open blooms with irregular rounded petals along with unopened buds. Long compound leaves surround the flowers, each made of many smooth-edged oval leaflets arranged in pairs along slender central stems. A prominent dark green compound leaf hangs diagonally through the center and lower right of the image, while additional leaves frame the upper edge. A dark tree trunk or large branch crosses the blurred background on the left. Bright patches of sunlight filter through the canopy, creating circular green, yellow, cream, and pale blue bokeh highlights. The flowers and nearest leaves are in focus while the tree canopy behind them is softly blurred.
