I believe the world is incomprehensibly beautiful – an endless prospect of magic and wonder.
Ansel Adams
Whether it’s a butterfly in my garden, a tiny spider on a colorful flower, a walk on the beach, visiting a National Park, or seeing a sunset, I find inspiration in the natural world.




Thanks to Tina for this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #115: Inspiration.
Beautiful collection of images. Nature is indeed inspirational. BTW … I just completed my Sunday post and I used the same quote LOL. Like minds!

Haha … yes, they were! I ended up changing out the quote since I had a list I was working off of. I’ll use this one down the road.π

A very beautiful set of images Beth – the butterfly of course is beautiful and your closing image reminds me so much of our own marsh here on Kiawah. I remember when I told a friend in NJ we were building a home on the marsh he said “Who would want to live on a SWAMP”. If he only knew π
