In folklore and mythology, lupines are associated with various symbolic meanings, including imagination, creativity, and renewal. Lupines, when given as a gift, tells the receiver that a positive outlook leads to the discovery of new opportunities- may the next journey in life be filled with more joy and happiness (if that’s possible).

I was blessed to have two images selected for this online exhibition, Beach Life and Watercolor Tree.
Beach Life- digital infrared photography
Life is like an Ocean or in this case a Great Lake; sometimes it can be calm, rough waves, gorgeous blue waters, or jet black with white caps but at the end of the day it is always beautiful. Simple views like this help me recharge my soul, releasing the creativity like endorphins after a workout so I can share my visual art to the world.
Watercolor Tree- I phone fine art photography
Steamy Monday morning here in Cabin Country Minnesota. At first glance, this looks dreary, but find the peace this dew-covered window gives. Mother Nature grabs my attention again and gives me something to see that I haven’t paid attention to in the past. I give thanks for simple blessings like this image, I find beauty in the storm; I find my inner peace.

There’s a difference between pretty and beautiful. When someone is pretty, they have a good appearance, but when someone is beautiful, they shine from the inside out. – by Rishikajain.
