It allows us to witness what we missed.

It's tough to be an artist like this. <br /><br />But I have to say your pictures are gorgeous. I've been doing some landscaping, and my garden looks nothing like this. NOTHING. Can you come to my house please? I'll even let you photograph afterwards. My garden needs a green thumb and mine are totally peach.Carolina M.

I just want a lens big enough to capture a whole forest.<br /><br />I once climbed onto a wall to photograph an amazing sunrise, but slipped on some moss and fell off right onto my back. I was ok, just a bit bumped, but I managed to protect my camera!<br /><br />It won't stop me though, I love photography. Ignore all the rolled eyes, one day you'll get that shot you've always wanted.Spanjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893837904669368614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-42122558056474401212011-07-07T21:10:54.228-04:002011-07-07T21:10:54.228-04:00Oh, these gardens are gorgeous!
