Photography has pretty much changed my life, in that, I look at every little thing differently now. I get so much pleasure being outdoors and finding new things to photograph. It gives me a tickle inside! I love the birds and flowers and all of nature so much. Sharing these treasures with all of you is very much a pleasure too. I hope you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoy taking them! This has been one of the most fun things I ever done... joining this community, it's given me more courage and confidence to explore what I really love to do... A BIG HUGE THANKS to all my friends here!!!!!!

 "Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished  there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again."
 Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever...

Life is sacred, and not all life is appreciated as it should be. Even the rose appears to weep. I know that it is very painful to "let go" of our loved ones. He has moved on, as we all must. It is good to share your pain. This a vivid reminder of the short time that we have. We do not know when our day will come. May your heart be comforted knowing that your friendship is a treasure that he has taken with him!

"Death is simply a shedding of the physical body like the butterfly shedding its cocoon. It is a transition to a higher state of consciousness where you continue to perceive, to understand, to laugh, and to be able to grow." ~Elisabeth Kubler-Ross~ ~ Scot will always be remembered by his family & friends for being the kind man he was, his smile will always shine bright in the hearts of us all...He was a hard worker and always willing to help others, he will be missed, thank you Akemi for this wonderful dedication to my cousin, Scot...

Thank you for this gorgeous tribute. We're hanging in there, making arangements and all that stuff that people shouldn't have to worry about after losing a loved one. Scot was the best big bro a girl could have, the best son a Mom and Dad could have, a great uncle and cousin, and just a great man. Love you

Thank you so much Akemi. I couldn't ask for a better tribute to the best son in the world. He was my rock and knight in shining armor. I will forever miss him, but he has left his mark and will be remember with love by many. What more could a Mom ask of a son, except to keep him longer! Thank you.
