Shhh, be still and quiet to get great shots of up-close photography

A sliver of thoughts about a community that will keep turning

It's another morning to be alive.  I'm thankful, no doubt. The thoughts of the last few days remain very blurry to me. I'm sure it is so for the family of the victims too.  The fogginess will remain longer in their thoughts than I can even imagine. I'm so impressed with the maturity of the… Continue reading A sliver of thoughts about a community that will keep turning
