This was taken the night of the tragedy of Newton Shooting in Newton, CT. I will never forget standing in my driveway and marveling at the beautiful sky. Wondering how can a day finish with so much beauty, but have had a horrible tragedy unfold that day. When I went to editing the photo, my feelings where to add a reflection of the trees and the sky. We have to reflect and think about how lines have blurred in our world. The stark reality of our world is with lightness, there is darkness around. With beauty there is a darker side to our world.
Spring is here, new beginning for all. I took this photo at Epcot’s International Flower & Garden. When I saw this Monarch Butterfly, it inspired me feelings of new beginnings, spring celebrations, and an inner peace and happiness. I felt that this picture was perfect for different celebrations.
