HAPPY THANKSGIVING to one and all.

I hope that your day is filled with blessings and the opportunity to count them. I've gathered up some of my favorite images from the past to share with you today and offer my gratitude for your support over these past months (and years) together. I am so grateful for all I've learned and all who have graciously encouraged me.

Plant and Harvest and Plant AGAIN!

It's such joy to learn more about photography and to travel, take these photos and then search for the 'perfect' quote to bring them to life.  I hope that they offer you some inspiration on this day of thankfulness. Enjoy my little retrospective. I had fun looking back, gathering these images and celebrating all over again.
