How wonderful to step into morning's first light to glimpse such splendor. A queen couldn't be adorned more spectacularly than this lovely green leaf of Spring.

I so often sneek out into the garden after rainfall ... wonderful jewels on green or rose or white. Just imagine a brooch or a tiara made up from your photo ! What a find in your garden !
Thanks for the glimpse of a typical Oregon -- our home for years and years -- we love it still and come back often to visit. Your hummngbird in the post below is incredible.
Absolutely beautiful! Nature's Jewels were out in force last week weren't they? I think we were on the same wavelength cause I posted on the bling as well!
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!
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.

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

There is something truly magical about raindrops on leaves; like Mother Nature's jewels.
Happy weekend.
