The lilting beauty of the folk song "Today," recorded by the New Christy Minstrels in 1964, sets the melodious mood for this celebration of spring showcased in my original photos.
My greatest joy as a photographer is harmonizing my favorite original photos to music to create a lingering snapshot of the season ... Enjoy!

"On a clear day Rise and look around you And you see who you are On a clear day How it will astound you That the glow of your being Outshines every star You'll feel part of Every mountain, sea and shore You can hear from far and near A world you've never, never heard before And on a clear day On that clear day You can see forever, and ever, and ever And ever more." ~ "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever" ~ from the 1965 musical "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever" ~Lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, Music by Burton Lane
