Lately, I've been spending outside
taking lots of pictures. I think I have found a new passion. I've always
been fascinated with photography and I also enjoy looking at beautiful
pictures from people around the world. I'm
passionate about sharing pictures that I took with the world to see my
point of view and hopefully I learn something a long the way. This year
Spring has been gorgeous and it's all about fluffy clouds, blooming
flowers, chirping birds and lots of sunshine. Anywhere is beautiful when it's sunny and dry. I love blue sky in Oregon. I personally love pleasant weather in spring. Being with nature makes me happy and I have develop great interest in exploring outdoors.
“Photography is an art of observation. It has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” - Elliott Erwitt
There are so many things to learn than just photography. I am now inspired to learn how to observe, capture the moments and choosing the objects. Elliot Erwitt said: “All the technique in the world doesn’t compensate for the inability to notice.”
I joined Instagram in late 2012 and I'm already hooked! I love taking pictures of anything that tickles my interest but mostly nature's beauty.
I have learned so much from others along the way and one of the best things that I like is when your picture get pick to be featured on one of the challenges. I love getting the 'likes' and sweet compliments from amazing people who already have really nice gallery. I love how people from around the world connecting through picture and congratulating each other. I feel like every one is sharing the same passion.

“A photograph that has not been shared or at least printed is almost an unexistent photograph, is almost an untaken picture.”
1. “The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.” – Oscar Wilde
2. “The photograph is completely abstracted from life, yet it looks like life. That is what has always excited me about photography.” – Richard Kalvar
3. “Ultimately photography is about who you are. It’s the truth in relation to yourself. And seeking truth becomes a habit.” – Leonard Freed
4. “The camera is an excuse to be someplace you otherwise don’t belong. It gives me both a point of connection and a point of separation.” – Susan Meiselas
5. “I think good dreaming is what leads to good photographs.” – Wayne Miller
6. “I fell in love with the process of taking pictures, with wandering around finding things. To me it feels like a kind of performance. The picture is a document of that performance.” – Alec Soth
7. “It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter, because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the ordinary.” – David Bailey
8. “Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.” – Ansel Adams
9. “Taking an image, freezing a moment, reveals how rich reality truly is.” – Anonymous
10. “You can give everything to photography but photography will give you only 1 thing – happiness.” – Anonymous
“Every human being on the planet wants to be happy. Anything that anyone desires is because they think their desire will make them happy. Whether it is health, money, a loving relationship, material things, accomplishments, a job, or anything at all, the desire for happiness is the bottom line of all of them. But remember that happiness is a state inside of us, and something on the outside can only bring fleeting happiness, because material things are impermanent. Permanent happiness comes from you choosing to be permanently happy. When you choose happiness, then you attract all the happy things as well. The happy things are the icing on the cake, but the cake is happiness.” ~Rhonda Byrne (From The Secret Daily Teachings)
