Kathy, your comments are so eloquent and your depth of perception inspiring. Thanks so much for taking the time to review and comment on my photos! I’m very happy that you enjoy them.
Love the quiet enfolding quality of the interior and the sun drenched vista beyond.
Laria Saunders is able to inveigle my essence into the
subtle and deeply quiet attention that she gives this world.
It feels like a gentle, silent teaching …an invitation to believe in my own creative and unique expression enough to follow through.For the above reason this image is my 1st choice. K.C.
Thank you for all the beauty ! Love this site !
