Beauty is everywhere you look.

Until I became obsessed (and I mean obsessed!) with photography a couple of years ago, I didn't truly appreciate just how gorgeous this planet we live on really is. I only have to step into my back yard to find the beauty in the birds and other critters (frogs and fish in the pond) that make their home there, not to mention the flowers and trees that change their colors from season to season. When I can, of course, I travel way beyond my yard, and every new locale brings unexpected pleasures. I rarely have an itinerary... I love to just go exploring and see what catches my eye.
