Seek and you will find. Beauty is all around us.

We got our usual late March snowstorm and naturally it did not stay on the ground long. I managed to capture a little remnant after work before it dis

I nearly missed these little flowers driving down the road in search of subjects to shoot.

He loves to burrow into my jackets or blankets. It must make him feel secure.

One of my favorite combinations. Flowers, insects and bokeh.
