I took this photo with my Archomat Art Lens (first manufactured in 1819). I love the colors, I put my favorite blue clay flower pot in the blue birdbath, and they loved each other. This photo tells a story. Summer, Fall, Life, Death, Color, Emotion.

I think we all can find out own story in it, there is just a lot of feeling. I love living in nature, I was without it for so long, and now I can’t imagine living so far from nature again, it connects me to history, humanity, and the struggles of Mother Earth to be heard and loved.
