Photo Essay ....When we pause to see beauty of a scene,or object, some of us can recall a song,or poetic words. And some of us can allow ourselves to "inhale" the essence of the mysterious magic of the vision.
Here is some magic i "inhaled".

Reflections in a bridge puddle...water,sky,trees engulf my senses revealing "Life" to me.

This simple berry conveys forbidden fruit tantalizing and sensuous in its lushness with its red hue of passion. The temptation is extreme to pluck it and let it brush my lips on its way to linger on my tongue awakening desire. Alas, i settle for savoring the fantasy.

Alone, but hopeful....I am not Dorothy and this is definitely not Kansas! I am the bright reflective light.

Moody and misty fog....I survive the heaviness in my heart and soul like this lone tree. It is as beautiful to me as rain that refreshes the earth.

Heart in balance....happiness is where you find it when you are open to it. This little heart dangles from a small windchime....each time the wind blows to stir a tune, I feel a simple joy.

Kissed by the sun one moment in time...there is birth happening here.
Essence of life....feel the magic!

That berry sure looked de-lish-ous. Was it ?
