About Me

Simply put, I love ALL the gifts of nature. Beauty is all around us and you don't even have to go very far to find it. It's everywhere. To know me is to know that I especially love flowers, in all their many stages, from a new baby bud to a full blown flower. Watching a flower grow and unfold is like watching a present being unwrapped. I am forever trying to capture the beauty of flowers in photographs. Yes, to know me is to know that I love the amazing gifts of nature. I'm also a lover of words, poetry, quotes, well-written words, even not so well-written words as long as they are meaningful, inspirational, say something about life. When I run across words that I love or poems that are beautiful to me, I'll post them here, in the hope that they might mean something to someone else.
