Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder
Rain and more rain for days now. I went out and captured this quick sunset with all the dark clouds. But as I watched it a few minutes, I realized it is still beautiful. Even with all the rain, the dark, the gloom, it is still a wonder of nature. Each sunset is unique and […] More

A weed to one may not be considered a weed to another person. Sort of like people. There are those who try to dominate, create their own rules, diminish […] More
