The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Wow, that's a superb capture of the moth! A great still-action shot, and I know he didn't stay still for very long. We have them in our area, as they migrate through once a year.

Great close-up Christian! That little bug really has a fast wing beat; faster than the eye can see and hard for the camera to freeze. Good beautiful image.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
