This iris is about 3.5 feet tall and growing up inside a shrub I have not identified yet. If I may gloat just a lit...

In this life we search for significance. We want a sense of belonging and an acknowledgment that we are in our best place. Is the confirmation of such things Divine or intuition, or are the two the same? Occasionally along the way we catch a glimpse of what we are seeking. In my life such a glim...

Scenes like this speak to me. I like that they do not reveal the greater features of their locale at a glance. I like that it does not mean those features do not exist.

I could not resist taking a shot of this beautiful Spring day just west of Eureka Springs, AR. From near the top of Busch Mountain west of Eureka Springs on a clear day you can see forever, sort of. I can't see Russia from here, but I bet I can see Missouri. As always, taken with my Droid. For ...
