"Pastel Sunsets"...

Enjoying sunsets doesn't always have to be focused solely on the sun setting. Dusk provides such a wonderful time of mix of atmospheric colors. On this particular evening, a rainstorm was moving in from the South (left) as the sun was setting in the West (right). The mix of cloud layers provides a deep sky of pastels. Hope you enjoy.

"Big Colors, Small World"...

There are times, I really slow down and study just a small section of nature in the woods. This photograph represents such a treat of colors in such a small space. You can see the green grasshopper near the center.  
Hope you enjoy.

"Tiny Wonder"

This is the Sulphur Bee fly (Poecilognathus sulphureus). This is a tiny fly that resembles a bee, but only has one set of wings. It's only about 4mm (5/32") in size. It's color and transparent wings are what attracts me to photograph it so often.

"Awareness and Patience"...

Life passes us by. We should stop and enjoy life more, but we should also be more patient. If we don't take that extra moment, we might miss something really special.
