Welcome to Alethea's life.

I'm Alethea. People call me Leafy. This is my special place.

I wander through the world and I take wonder at the beauty around me. I love to pause, to breathe it in, and to try to capture that majestic feeling before it slips away.

If something here makes you stop too, stay with it. You are welcome here.

I look at four things, over and over. Wings. Woods. Cities. Faces. Not because someone asked me to. Because that is how my eyes already work. I wander, I pause, and I try to keep the beauty so we can share it.

If a picture makes you feel small in a good way, or makes you whisper that is me, then you are already part of leafys.life. Stay as long as you like.

The four things I keep looking at

I go outside and the trees do the rest.

Woods

I go outside and the trees do the rest.

I go outside and the trees do the rest. After rain the woods feel like they are holding their breath. I stand still until I can keep that quiet with me.

The sky is the first thing I look at.

Wings

The sky is the first thing I look at.

A plane draws a line through the sky and the whole day feels bigger. I take the window seat in my mind even when I am on the ground. I want you to feel that lift too.

Then the streets, still warm from someone passing.

Cities

Then the streets, still warm from someone passing.

I love streets that still feel warm from someone passing through. Flowers in the windows. A bike left just so. I take wonder at the life already happening.

And then someone I love.

Faces

And then someone I love.

A face I already know. Friends looking at the same far away thing. If you see yourself here, stay a second. You belong.
