In color and in different light, this photo of a palm leaf would convey a very different feeling . . . .

Soft focus and soft colors combine in this simple photo . . . .

There is something a bit ironic about this statue in the National Gallery of Art . . . .

How is it that a photographer thinks of Bonnie Raitt, Allison Kraus and Macbeth when he ponders this picture? . . . . 

The symbiotic relationship of this ivy growing on a giant oak perhaps has something to teach us . . . .

In a quiet Maryland forest, beauty lies in decadent, natural processes . . . .

In a a sprawling military cemetery, the grass, which shows the green blush of spring, and bare trees, which are beginning to bud, stand as symbols of hope . . . .
