i'm in love with the beauty of the world. i try hard to stop and smell the roses every chance i get. it saddens me when i see people quickly walking by talking on their cell phones and never even noticing the leaves, clouds, bugs, birds, trees, flowers, colors around them, etc.

the digital world has set me free once i broke down and spent the money for a camera SMILE and then finally broke down and purchased my first 'big boy' camera this year ...

photos are my visual vacation ... when life gets to me, i can look at them and take a vacation back to a happier time.
