Leafy Backgrounds: Nature-Inspired Backgrounds at Your Fingertips

Somehow, I completely missed marking Earth Day this year. Yep, it just slipped past me like a fox sneaking through tall grass. In my defense (and I think it’s a pretty solid one), I’ve always believed that every single day should be Earth Day. Not just for show – no empty virtue signaling here – but because, deep down, I genuinely love nature. I’m not talking about the hashtag version of loving nature; I mean the real, muddy-shoes, dirt-under-your-nails, stopping-to-admire-a-random-tree kind of love.

Honestly, maybe this all stems from how I was raised. Growing up, it was second nature to take care of the planet – not because it was trendy, but because it was simply the right thing to do. No littering was a given. Reducing waste wasn’t a challenge, it was common sense. I learned to grow plants, cherish green spaces, use less plastic without making a whole social media campaign about it, and opt for walking or public transport whenever possible. It wasn’t about ticking eco-friendly boxes – it was about respect, gratitude, and that quiet pact we all have with the Earth, even if we sometimes forget to say it out loud.

Of course, life is rarely picture-perfect (pun intended). My beloved photography job wouldn’t exist without my car. Those early morning drives, countryside detours, and client visits require four wheels and fuel, whether I like it or not. But here’s the thing – I don’t just shrug and say, oh well. I try to balance the scales, in my own small ways. Planting more, buying less, supporting animal rescues, and choosing eco-friendly whenever I can, even if it sometimes means walking the extra mile – literally.

So, yes, I forgot about the official Earth Day. But truthfully? I hope I honor it every day, not just on a calendar. Because to me, nature isn’t an occasional concern – it’s home.
