As an amateur photographer, my favorite subjects are nature, rocks, and flowers (mostly the flowers that I grow or find along the byways of life and highways). I may crop a photo, but I don't manipulate them in any other way. After all, it's the eye that sees what others do not and the camera just captures a moment in time.

​​Most of this February (2015) looked very much like this 2005 picture of my driveway. What driveway? It's to the left of the tall trees. Because of all the snow, I had it plowed out six times in a two week span. That's a record.

When the frustrations of the day got to me, a friend forwarded this to me. It brightened my day. May it make you smile, too. - Catherine E. McLean © 2018
