Looking Towards the Sun
Life is a collection of little lives and each day needs to be spent finding beauty.
Taking a Walk
My camera is a great excuse to walk and to observe nature. Not every picture is worthy for later processing, but a surprising number are pretty good.
Sunflowers In Virginia
Sunflowers truly look like a sky with a thousand suns. Their bright yellow heads follow the light, reminding us that we too should follow the light of our lives.
Perfect Peony
Sometimes I don’t realize that I’ve taken a perfect picture until I get home and start reviewing my work. That was the case with this tree peony. The color, the symmetry, the unfolding of the petals – all made for a rich and luxurious flower, waiting for me to release it to the world. #…
