I couldn’t wait until it was cold enough to make ice bubbles. I’d go out every morning and wait till it was cold and not windy . I finally got lucky. These ice bubbles are full of magic.

I enjoy taking my lens ball out to play. That, a feather and a beautiful sunrise and I feel like I hit the jackpot.

I love a good spider we. Get one with droplets of dew and I’m in heaven. My friend once said it’s like sparkly jewelry.

I always marvel at the delicate nature of dandelions. It seems I can’t get enough. I will pull over for one that is gracefully putting itself into the sunlight to show its beauty.

That moment when ice on the bay melts and adds fabulous texture. Wet shoes, cold hands, all worth it for the shot!

I love the various textures in the bay, especially in the winter. It adds to the drama of the photo.

I wait all winter for making snow globes . The sunlight shines through making it feel like I’ve stepped into a story.

Calm and peaceful. Some days we just need that reminder to breather and be at peace with simplicity. I took this photo one morning when I really needed to relax. Was so pleased with the colors that the universe provided.

Those beautiful calm mornings. I always look for feathers as a note from my dad when I need help. I found this one and posed it to give it importance.
