Country Sunrise

The blessing of a beautiful country sunrise. It is a reminder that every morning is a fresh start in life. I will so miss seeing the beauty of the country sunrise when I move to town.

Butterfly Blessings

Over the course of the summer, butterflies seemed to follow me everywhere. I seen more butterflies then any other summer. I closed someone very dare to my heart over the winter. We both loved butterflies. When she was pretty much house bond for the last couple years. So, I would photograph the butterflies for her enjoyment. I believe she is sending butterflies to remind me of how much she loved me.
