calmness in nature and your
incredible photographs capture
that perfectly.” and “The art is . .

mind off a lot of things.” and “These
pictures give you a calming effect
from the outside storm.”
The tiniest drops - left by fog,
dew and rain - hold special magic.
From a distance they sparkle with

a jewel-like glitter. Up close, they
can hold within them a flower,
a bush, the glowing sun. Spider
webs or insects bedecked with
them are truly wondrous. All of
this is likely to elicit one of my
favorite words – WOW.
Reflections are so magical with
both still and moving water. Many
times there Is an otherworldly
quality to them that magnetically
draws me in. I can spend long
periods watching the everchanging image before me as the
water moves and the light changes.
I am also fascinated to see how the
reflections change as I move, up –
down – left – right. It is wondrous,
offering endless photographic
possibilities. When I get lost in all
this, joy comes and my physical
pains and emotional distresses
seem somehow to melt away.
