The Dance

"I hope you never lose your sense of wonder ... I hope you dance!"
                                                                       ~ Lee Ann Womack

Red Admiral Butterfly dances in the summer light last month.

Soul Of Summer Video

LeAnn Rimes' beautiful version of "I Believe" sets the backdrop for this celebration of the inspiration and splendor of summer. My greatest joy as a photographer is harmonizing my favorite original  photos to music to create a lingering snapshot of the season. Enjoy!...

Butterflies Are Free ...

"I only ask to be free. The butterflies are free."
                                                    ~ Charles Dickens
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly and the Red Admiral Butterfly behind it almost seem as if their wings
are touching as they sip the nectar of buddleia flowers.

"Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life. And everyone deserves a little sunshine." ~ Jeffrey Glassberg

Beautiful monarch butterfly alights in the summer sun recently.

Papillon Dream

"Just like the butterfly, I too will awaken in my own time."
                                            ~ Deborah Chaskin

I wondered what a butterfly's dream would look like. This is the image I imagined  for this
