How can someone or something that is tangled up…be beautiful? In short, is there such a thing as beautifully confused or beautifully complicated and chaotic? I’m sure if we were to ask people, most will probably describe beauty as something more predictive and orderly. Someone or something who’s in charge or know what they are…

Beautifully Bruised
I found this beauty laying on the brick walkway at work . It was there, probably waiting to be picked up or wondering if somebody would notice. I have no idea if somebody else found her beautiful or if somebody took a few minutes out of their time to admire her. I did. I find…
Turning the Pages
It’s been almost two years since I published my first book. I wish I can tell you the exact number of hard or digital copies sold….but I can’t. Not because I am embarrassed to tell you, but simply because I really have no idea. I’m not counting. I’m not interested in the numbers. Was I…
Lost Time?
Time. Time. Time. Living on borrowed time. Not enough time. Wasted time. Is it really? I don’t know know what is it with time that it seems like we don’t have enough and will never have enough. What is it that makes every minute of our time so fleeting? Is it really that we don’t…
Pointed Edges
I don’t know if I am more excited about sharing my pictures or writing my thoughts. I guess both, because it won’t be complete without the other. I live in a rural area and to say that there’s not much to photograph here as far as outstanding places are concerned is an understatement! So to…
Life in Black & White
I love writing. I love photography. I have to have both. My photos give life to my writing and vice versa. Without these two, I don’t think I would be who I am. Something would be missing. Not too long ago, someone…a very dear friend, told me to quit listening to music or reading things…
Masked Blooms
This month has been warmer than usual which resulted in unexpected and yet beautiful blooms all around. Pretty unusual this time of year. Could it be a sign of what summer is going to be like? Masked blooms. Too early for spring and pretty dangerous for the winter. It may be too early for the…
Campus Life
It’s been an above average kind of temperature here in NC the past few days and yesterday was such a beautiful day to venture out. With some hesitations due to lack of ideas on what to shoot, I grabbed my camera from the car and hope for the best. But when you love what you…
Deceiving Beauty
It’s been quite a busy past weeks. I miss sharing photos with you all and miss sharing my thoughts. But life, as its always been – has a way of distracting us. Work, family matters and the many other things that we allow to take away our ability to enjoy life and take things slowly….
Bird Watching
Yesterday, as I was busy doing something, my daughter told me there’s a big fluffy bird nearby. I can’t even remember now what I was doing. I am so glad my daughter rushed me and told me about it. I could have missed the opportunity to shoot this gorgeous beauties! To be honest, I was…
