When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.

my blue dasher dragonfly rock star - posing beautifully in a palm tree just after he ate. He was about the size of my pinky.

You've no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You.
nothing seemed right.
What's the point of bringing gold to the gold mine, or water to the Ocean.
Everything I came up with was like taking spices to the Orient.
It's no good giving my heart and my soul because you already have these.
So- I've brought you a mirror.
Look at yourself and remember me.
Rumi

Silhouettes are a powerful technique and one of my favorites. I would like to do more work with silhouettes and, of course, the challenge is the light.
- Turn off the flash - let the back light do its work
- Shooting into bright light is a good thing for silhouettes
- Choose a fairly monochrome background
- Choose a strong subject that will stand out
- If you get a good shot - you can work within your photo editor to make the shadows a bit stronger

The abstract beauty of Japanese art issues from the abstract beauty of their lives. They do not like clutter, they like to look at one flower at a time, one painting, one pot. - Anais Nin
