A sun rises majestically to take its place in the summer sky.  The eye beholds its beauty,  a camera’s shutter is clicked and the scene is immortalized.

A flower grows freely against the green of spring; a butterfly clings to the branches of a tree.…such are the scenes that capture our hearts and live in our mind’s eye long after the flower has faded and the butterfly is but a memory.

We spend a lot of time photographing natural scenes and capturing their beauty.  We’ve done so on the pages of this book.  It is a gift of  temporary escape to remind us that beauty exists.  We find it with our cameras.
