Went for a walk through my woods yesterday… just to enjoy five min. of sunshine before heading back inside to slave away on the computer. :)  This is what my heart saw and my camera captured.

“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things in nature have a message you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive. ” – Eleanora Duse

And other random bits I saw on the side of the road, on the way into town.  I find so much beauty in everyday things… things that others walk by and never pay any attention to.  I feel blessed to have the ability to apprecaite such small joys and simple beauties,  and I hope that through my photography, I help others gain awareness and appreciation for unnoticed treasures in their own lives.
