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...

Yes, after quite a bit of snow here a few weeks ago, it has warmed up a lot & we're seeing buds & shoots starting to sprout. And dozens of ladybugs are somehow finding their way into our house. We've been gently scooping them up & placing them outside, but they keep coming back. Nice crisp photo...

Indeed, it's always so wonderful for the winter-weary soul to see the beginnings of spring. It's my favorite time of year. Lovely capture, Akemi. The colors and the quality of this are just beautiful. I can imagine how thrilled you must be to see this particular winter come to an end. You guys really had it rough. But good times are ahead! Have a wonderful week, sweetie. -M :^)
