Young Beauty

Working with light on this day, my niece was a willing subject for the exercise.  She suggested the wrap, which once on, struck me as an image from the Italian Renaissance.  Her natural beauty and wonderful eyes made the task at hand as easy as can be.  Boy - time flies.

New Year's Morning

Early New Year's morning, by the docks, with fog covering the lake.  Recalling the year that has passed and great expectations for the one ahead.  A good time for reflection.  Thoughts of new opportunities and the pursuit for positive impact on those around us.  The desire not to fall into the trap of routine and the squandering of the promise each day offers.  Our best efforts for 2011.
