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!!!!!!

 Sometimes when we are generous in small, barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever...

Oh wow, this color is special but... did you consider to wait until sunset? The color will even stand out more, I guess! Fantastic capture, love to see it against that blue sky!

so beautiful!!!!! i never saw a tree like this before! its bark is so unusual looking. reminds me of something. i'm trying to remember. i can't quite recall it but i remember when i was a little girl there was something i used to peel. it would come right off. the texture of the tree, how it looks, reminds me of this. wish i could remember. anyway, your photo is fantastic! sure does look wonderful against that GORGEOUS blue sky!!!!!! :)
