One aspect of photography, probably the one that speaks to me the most, is that it helps me see the world around me with a slightly different perspective. Oftentimes, instead of seeing a mess, I see my daughter’s very frequent (as in multiple times a day) play with sand and water to be a beautiful childhood experience for her. I have a lot of photos of her face in intent concentration, “working” on another magnificent concoction.
Thank you all for your encouraging comments. I love and treasure each one. Enjoy your Friday and have a great weekend.

I love how a water drop can simulate a magnifying glass. I also love the dreamy bokeh in the background.

I love the world inside your drops of water. I also love the lighting on your favorite photo. They are all spectacular.
My favorite is the photo of the rain from inside. Have a great weekend.
Awesome shots! My favorite is the lillies. Well done!
May I have a living room size of the lilies from your parents’ back yard? They must have some beautiful plants!
Beautiful!!! Yay. I love dropping by your blog for the visual inspiration. Thanks for this.
These are beautiful – as always. Thanks so much for sharing!
