The orchids are blooming. They live on my lanai and it must be the perfect spot for them. I came home and there were three orchid plants in bloom. It is true joy for me to see the buds ready to pop opena nd reveal themselves. from one season to another, i forget what the blooms inside look like. after each bloom ,t hen I reminder of their intricate make-up. It is my dream to one day have an orchid farm in hawaii. Hundreds of orchids around me.....each one with different- each one beautiful. The world is full of beauty. Everywhere we look there is something of beauty- a tree, a flower, a bee on a plant, a falling leaf, clouds, a sunset, a bird resting on a limb, a smiling face. If we just take the time to slow down and revel in this miracle that we call earth, we would be more at peace and more content…….In our modern culture, most folks are on autopilot- going through each day asleep–using each moment as a means to get to the next moment. Not truly understanding the power of each moment. I see my photography as a way to capture the ordinary, everyday things in a way that even the most unconscious person will recognize their beauty- each piece of nature is a reflection of god… beauty can be found in the most common-even people… we all have a story to tell. I have a lot to learn but think I am on the right path:)

My photos are also a reflection of my own personal spiritual journey where I have come to relish in the most unassuming things….Remember…..“When you really want something, the universe always conspires in your favor.”
