an afternoon in our garden is always my favorite kind of day….

I absolutely love our garden… everything about it… from the way I feel in it to the pretty things I see in it… it’s such a collection of little things to pretty rose bushes to all of the memories we have made in it and grown in it…

our parsley has lasted well over 2 years now! a record for parsley! we use it maybe every week… the secret to herbs lasting, I really think… is talking with them and constantly petting them and smelling their beautiful fragrance! they have feelings too…..

love those eyes… this is our little sparkle… I love how her eyes have such wonder… children’s eyes are full of wonder… and potential.. it’s beautiful… this is why I love to photograph a single child at a time… to look into their eyes with my camera.. it feels like I am in a way, looking into their souls…….
