I like to forget time for at least a few moments each day. Outside, with my camera (and Zelda), I sit and watch the world unfold around me.

Under the apple tree, I find the refuge of peace and stillness. Abundance enfolds me in a canopy of green.

And peaks its orange bloom past the bars of the gate. Nothing can hold it back, it seems.

Nature, I have always found, plays the game of life much better than I do, moving easily with the unspoken rhythm.

Messages abound when we care to see them. Not everything is obvious. Sometimes we have to expand our vision and look with new eyes. That’s were the hidden gifts are found.
