not that you asked....
- Carol Dunton
- As a little girl growing up in Ohio, I spent my time outdoors as much as possible playing with Nature. I’ve always been captivated by the textures, nuances and palette of colors found around us. I’m intrigued by the details observed in a crackled leaf, a pink petal, a frosty spider web, or a billowy cloud found in our back yards, gardens, the skies or wherever we may journey. Life is fast-paced. We often walk right past these gifts, unaware of the wonderment they offer to our sense, to our souls. Photography allows me to stop time, to freeze a moment...and to hold these gifts forever…thus creating a permanent feast for the eyes and spirit. Challenging myself with my camera forces me to go for a shot that might be considered unobtainable. The word ‘can’t’ doesn’t enter into my self-talk. Instead, I say “Let me see what I can get!” and I go for it. If I want to take a close, tight picture, I do it, without the benefit of a macro lens. My philosophy is that nothing is wasted and everything is gained in the pursuit of that perfect shot that permanently expresses what my soul is feeling. There are no ‘bad pictures’….merely ‘learning experiences’. I am fearless with my camera.

funny what things will pop-up in a garden...these days I have "stuff" growing in cracks and crevices everywhere...pleasant surprises.
Love your colorful pictures ~
sweet peas and garden peas? Like 2 peas in a pod?!?!?! ba-dum-dum...ugh. Must take nap.
The garden looks divine though, I would be out working in mine, but we've got like 40 mph wind gusts today...oh, I mean, because I'm too lazy (but the wind makes for a good excuse)
i just love the spiderweb! and the wonderful sweet peas. the song you have playing, somewhere over the rainbow is one of my favorite songs. have you ever heard eva cassidy do it?
she is so great. i just love her.
so sad she died at such an early age. hope you have a lovely week ... love nita
That Spider Web is Amazing! We are still waiting for some green and flowers around here though!

Love sweet peas, they are my very favorite. I must plant them next year.
I did just get the veggie garden planted last week-end. As soon as I charge my camera I will take some pictures.
Oh-I love the sweet peas! I planted sweet peas last year (the flowers) and they didn't do so hot so I didn't this year. Although we did do okay with the eating peas! When did you plant the flower seeds? (I live in AZ too)
