Various 2012 pictures with my new camera

[momcat]

I'm putting in my order for the book now and I don't care about the price! Kirsten, you have done it again! Your photography is nothing short of art, always stunning beauty no matter what you're shooting. In your hands a camera works magic.

It's hard to pick a favorite but I love the one with the ladybug. The waterfall in the woods makes me feel like I'm actually there. Have you ever considered teaching photography?

As always, thank you for giving us an extraordinary treat! Lovies to Liliy and Luna

PS: You have quite a handsome nephew

Deep in the forest
Away from the sounds of the city
Far enough, anyway
Stop a moment and listen to
The age-old music of water falling over stones
Feel the damp air, ripe with life and pollen
Listen to the songs of bird unseen
As they flit from tree to tree above head
Revel for a moment
In things eternal and fleeting
The quiet hum and buzz of insects
A forest stream reflecting the dark woods
And filtered light
Sparkling, singing undisturbed
By our wondering observation
