Trees of Roses...

There was something about the opening through these trees that interested me. It's as if a path existed, but it's up to me to determine where it leads. That's what excites me about exploration - you never know what you may see and experience.

The Golden Hour...

For some, the golden hour refers to the magical time that usually occurs an hour around sunset and sunrise. For others, it may simply be that special moment when time seems to stand still and your eyes and ears are filled with the glorious sights and sounds of nature.
