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.

We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us. -- E. M. Forster
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!

Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise.

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

The Incredible Photography of Abraham Lincoln
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

Your pitchy jewels are amazing! I just don't understand how you get such clarity! Blows my mind!
Gorgeous and poetic.
The perfect jewels for earrings ! Gorgeous nature and wonderful pictures !
you're right, beth, these are absolutely stunning! it amazes me how dazzling one tiny space can be if you compare it to this huge world of ours. makes me realize even more that i need to stop and let the wonder around captivate me anew!
Fabulous macros Beth!
Neat. I though of water at first.
We are having some delightful weather here today. I have been out for a brief period and sat in a chair and listened to the birds singing and the mother robin scolding her baby about going there or here. The hummingbird popped in on me and left before I could really get a good look. I find I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat and it feels so good to wake up and realize it is still daylight. Your flowers are beautiful. I have some open but not much variety yet.
Ah sissie, your emeralds are beautiful. Might I wear them sometime?
Wait, I think I already borrowed them - I ended up with pitch in my hair and down one arm after our walk the other day! Oh well, it all came out (and off). Eventually.
Sneaking in quietly to "blogdom" to visit my friend! As always I find a pic that I can lose myself in and let my immagination run away. Beautiful! The school year is winding down, perhaps i'll get back to blogging when things are peaceful!
So lovely!
Sometimes it is the simple things that hold the most beauty. Perhaps more often than naught.
Stunning.

That is one of the most wonderful things about you, Beth - you can see the world in a mere drop of water!
Lovely!
