I was soaking up the sun in the back yard, when this perfect little daisy smiled up at me. I could hardly resist taking her picture!!! Ah, Spring!

Fills My Eyes
When I see something unexpected, unusual, or beautiful, my focus involuntarily suddenly sharpens and intensifies. The sensation tickles! That's when I say something "fills my eyes." It is the greatest compliment I can give.

Welcome to my World
I have always loved taking pictures. I took my first and only photography class at West Linn High. The photo lab was located in the bowels of the school near the gym's locker rooms. There we learned to manage typical dark room techniques and procedures for developing film.
Things have radically changed since those days. Today's technology no longer requires pungent trays of chemicals and a dark room.
With the invention of the digital camera, I was set free to capture the amazing, unusual and the unexpected. My camera is always by my side.
I never know when, or where I will be able to capture some delicate beauty, or unexpected oddity.
Welcome to my world!

About Me
I am interested in people, stories, art, drama, music, nature, and photography.
I love to photograph the forest, my garden, birds of all kinds, the river, my town, our historical home, the ocean and so much more. The stories one can find are endless.
The seasons of nature are fascinating to me. Every year, time and the seasons seem to vibrate with increasing intensity

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. -- Mark Twain

Daisies do have sweet personalities, don't they? Great picture!
This is just what I was saying to Clytie, aren't Mother Nature's creations perfect. Even when something in nature isn't perfect they are somehow spritually perfect.
I'm glad you're getting some sunshine too. Doesn't it just bouy your spirits like nothing else.
Have a happy day Sis and no weeds.
A woman I know was mesmerized by the gradual opening of her lilies at Easter time. Her potted plant had four unopened buds along with the four open blossoms. Being the astute observer was a timeless experience. The aroma exploded. Be there again, now.
I sat in the yard today with the camera too. Watching the birds come and go, the sun on my back and the wind cooling my skin. The colours were rich, textures were vaired, and the beauty immense.
I can just feel the sweetness radiating out of this flower. Great picture! Probably she felt comfortable revealing a lot of herself because you were taking the picture.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh no I lied before. Now I am really, truely in loooooooooooove. Daisies are my bestest, favouritest flowers? If you saw my house you would know they are. My Daughter's middle name is actually 'Daisy'. Did you know Daisies are the flower of the Soul?
Beautiful, you. Really really beautiful.
so pure and simple - beautiful
so so so..beautiful...
