I noticed your pictures and I can say they are great and beautiful. You don't have to be a professional to start taking nice pictures.
I also love taking pictures of the sky and plants but school activities has almost made me to forget what I use to love doing.
I'd love to see more of your pictures boss.
Even myself... school activities almost made me stop. I don't take out time to do it, I just take them when I can. On my way to or from school, on my way to or from church... once the inspiration strikes me, I simply take out my phone and click away.
It's so much easier that way.
