Went out today and took over 200 shots of flowers in

my neighbourhood.

I can definitely see an improvement in my work

from last year. I have a better eye. My compositions

are less straightforward and a bit more challenging

to the viewer. Friends and family have recently been

telling me the same thing.

Happiness or contentment is inherent for me as I shoot photographs

or paint a folk art picture. I feel purposeful and enjoy

trying to present beauty. Purposefulness and meaning

are important ingrediants in my life.

Above are my 2 best shots of the day.

Hope that you enjoy these images.

Helen.
