Egidio has challenged is to find serenity in our photos. He asks us to “look for serenity to lift our spirits and calm our minds”. In the featured image above I find serenity when I stop to enjoy the beauty of flowers.
Here are a few of my favorite things that bring me serenity.
I learned a long time ago that life can change in the blink of an eye and none of us know what the future will bring. I have learned the importance of making the most of every moment. Taking the time to enjoy the simple things in life brings me peace and serenity. Every day is a gift.
Many thanks to Egidio for this challenge Lens-Artists #348 – Serenity

Thanks John. It’s always a treat to see deer and fawns in the woods. They don’t always cooperate when I want to take their picture.
