I find myself often reflecting on our beautiful Earth. Her gentle hues, deep winds and vast expressions all blended in constant motion and waiting for us to behold.

I find so many flowers that I love while walking, hiking or even driving by. Many times I stop and try to capture their personality, I try to carry my camera with me as much as I can. Sadly, I don’t know the names of so many flowers and I feel like I am doing them an injustice by not knowing. So, if any of you happen to know what this flower is, please tell me. I will update my title accordingly.

Seeing the focus point magnified on the screen is incredibly helpful. (more…)
When I worked in a flower shop when I was in my 20’s I always used waxflower as my filler. I love the perfect five petals, the woody stems and the soft distinct smell. (more…)

My husband was sick on Valentine’s Day so I decided to take my oldest son with me to the store to pick out dessert and flowers. He picked up this stem of Star Gazer lilies first, I almost said no. They are so bold and intense, not really my preferred flower. (more…)
I wish I could say that I know what type of flowering plant this is. If you do, please comment below, I am curious. (more…)
