Once Upon A Leaf

I am in awe of leaves. They are perfect for abstract photography. I'm usually thinking 'leaf planet' when I photograph them. Hence, the poem, 'Once Upon a Leaf'. ONCE UPON A LEAF. How curious can I possibly be?   To envision a day upon a leaf. A Tom Thumb I would need to be! To...

Art, Photography, Crotons and Butterflies.

Like I said, I am feeling 'Spring Silly'.  I know I am not the only one, it affects the best of us!  I love spring. I could jump and shout, and go on and on about this crazy season, but I won't! BUT I did do some crazy stuff with my spring photographs.  Just for...
