Ships and stones…
I found these stones by the side of Lake Champlain, Vermont. They were part of an art display of creative pieces put together with stones, sticks, discarded old items such as bicycle wheels and rusty wire, and other miscellaneous objects. … Continue reading

Sunny yellow…
The first daffodils are blooming! This always makes me happy because of their sunny yellow colour which stands out so brightly against green grass and a Carolina blue sky. I love that there are so many different variations, though all seem to have … Continue reading
L’heure du repas dans le Jardin des Tuileries
As I was walking through the Tuileries Garden, I noticed this man standing on the side of the dusty path. His feet were hidden by the masses of street pigeons hopping around and pecking at the seed he had thrown … Continue reading

Pure white…
I took this a long time ago and I remember it as one of my first images that inspired me to pursue photography further. The flower caught my eye because of its pearly fan of shoe-horn shaped petals and their pure white colour … Continue reading
Shining crescent…
For me, this is one of the most beautiful photos I have ever taken. I think the moon is at its best when it is either full or a thin crescent, and what I love about this photo is how clearly … Continue reading
Entwined…
This is such a vivid photo; the variety of colours creates a rich density and heightens the detail and depth of the image. I like the way the sun highlights only a part of the plant because it focuses the eye on … Continue reading

Waiting…
I took this as the last areas of snow were melting and you could hear the slow ‘drip-drop’ of heavy water drops falling to the saturated ground. I thought that this waiting drop was beautifully framed between the two-pronged branch … Continue reading
Smoky depths…
The swirling, wispy smoke seems to be sucking in the helpless tendrils in this photo, but I love the thorny branch’s stance. It looks to me as if it isn’t going to burn easily despite its disappearance into sooty, smoking depths. … Continue reading

Speed is of the essence…
I love the feeling of speed in this photo and how I can imagine this lioness’ pace as she runs across dry savannah. The blurred nature makes it seem as if we are racing away with the lioness yet, almost … Continue reading

Soiled candy…
What first brought my attention to this scene, when I originally was walking down the street, was the flowerpot. It stood brokenly abandoned at the base of stone steps, a terracotta home to wiry weeds and spindly roots. Then when … Continue reading
Catch the sun…
I took these photos this past week and my hands were freezing and numb when I finally went inside. Despite the bitter wind and ice-cold air, I’ve felt that recently the sun has been trying to remind us that it … Continue reading
Discarded leaves…
I find that we never tend to notice the details underneath us. We hurry and rush from one place to another, often staring directly ahead of us or directly down at the floor, but do we always see what’s really … Continue reading

Hang on in there…
When I first looked at this image, I was surprised at how clear the near imperceptible string appeared. I had originally noticed the leaf because it seemed to be floating in the air. As I approached it however, I saw … Continue reading
Spring seeds…
Lots of people have been asking me where I got my header picture from, so I thought I would share the original image. I took this last spring on a sunny, breezy day which created the perfect conditions for flying … Continue reading
Nestled away…
When I first saw this delicate nest, deep within a holly bush, I could not believe how intricately woven the spindly twigs were. It was balanced precariously on one of the holly branches, fiercely protected by the dense screen of sharp leaves. What I like … Continue reading
