So much of life passes us by… so much of what we had dreamed remains dream and we never get to see the full picture. Still, what we do see sometimes stuns us with it’s vitality and beauty. The 4 x 6 photo opens our minds to all that we’ve missed. Thanks, Melissa for this one.
I felt like I got right behind the camera here, Melissa, I like it
Thanks, Ash!

Every year when the blossoms come it feels like no matter how much I appreciate their beauty I am somehow apprehending only a tiny part of it…
