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...

Beautifully stated and captured...I think this wisdom comes with age, when you start to realize that there is not all the time in the world anymore. Stopping to smell the roses and notice the smaller things in life really hits home with me more and more...Thanks for this great shot and the reminder~ Aloha to you~~

There's a fragile & delicate beauty in this image - it has the quality of a fleeting moment rescued for posterity before it disappears forever...

Oh my! The whole world is in the dew drop. You are right---we must not pass by the simple things. A friend of mine told me one of the gifts she has given her children, and now her grandchildren is a magnifying glass with instructions to look at the small things around them like the grass, flowers, insects etc. Thanks for pointing us to these small beauties. The large version is wonderful.
