Life is full of unexpected moments of inspiration. This black-and-white photo of a cork nestled into an upside-down wine bottle wasn’t planned. It wasn’t even meant to exist, really. I was working on a creative shot for my website header, playing with textures, light, and composition. I wanted something striking, something that felt effortless but carried depth.

There’s a quiet magic in nurturing something, in giving it your time and attention and watching it flourish. That little tree has taught us a lot—not just about plants, but about ourselves. It’s a reminder that growth takes patience.
