I finally am taking the time to again say thank you for your reflections and the beauty of your photography. My artist heart wants to paint your pictures always blending the red hues and the blues etc. Yes "Life is more a palette than a partisan divide." It was time to order new flowers for a beloved granddaughter's grave today. I intentionally tried to blend summer and fall colors and put PINK and Blue ribbons on it. Will see how it comes out. However it comes out it will be lovely as this florist is also and artist and a long time friend. Just so many colors and many hues just like musical notes one scale infinite variety. Also, loved the picture of Paddy and Richard. Bonita

The photographs are stunning. The one I really appreciated was Paddy and Richard. What a lovely lovely dog.

Greeting the sunrise is a deep spiritual experience for me. It is one of awe and gratitude for me each time I experience the sunrise. Thank you for these beautiful phots.
