Gathered like a bouquet, we shine brighter when we put our lights together…you always hold out the light and focus our attention on beauty…Lovely, my friend.

love the dancing of light as evidenced on those petals of white.
Light chases the darkness away! They simply cannot co-exist in the same space and time.

I think that is the one think I appreciate the most about photography is that it has made me so aware of light and how I appreciate and watch for it. Your light especially on the top image is just wonderful to me.
