I have been in Wyoming over a month now and it has rained at least some every day since I have been here. It's so funny because it never rains in Arizona and here I am with all this rain. Hopefully we will warm up and get Summer soon and hopefully you will also.
It's possible that the you're experiencing a creative block and is struggling to come up with new ideas for photography. By focusing on the small details around their home, they may be hoping to find inspiration in the mundane and everyday objects. Alternatively you could simply be taking a break from more ambitious photography projects and enjoying the simplicity of capturing small moments in their immediate surroundings.
