Quotes to ponder:Success is not final.
Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts. - Winston Churchill 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.

This was the first year for growing this striped Morning Glory and it was a late September bloomer. The flowers are huge (2 to 2.5"), larger than their leaves! © 2014 www.CatherineEmclean.com
