Susan — your photographs are truly breathtaking. I'm tempted to ask if I can purchase some prints from you!

Me too,

I find myself having a hard time believing that anyone can take pictures like this. They're simply gorgeous.

This just put the WoW factor over the top.

Beautiful as always!

The photos are spectacular.

I particularly like the second quote - "It is good to know the truth, but it is even better to speak of palm trees." I chuckle at the peculiarity of the quote and yet, I agree: the mysteries and beauties of creation are deep truths in themselves. They are, in a sense, incarnational.
