Day 85's Lens: The SUN

October 4, 2018

“Keep your face to the sun and you cannot see a shadow” ~ Helen Keller


Through my lens I see our beginning. Light. Believing. Truth. I create, hoping others will join me.

Nature drives me to search; to understand more by the day how very lucky we are to be here.

Can we agree that it is an honorable goal to make each moment of this life matter?

If nothing else, can the simple wonder of images such as these draw us closer where we are the same—striving to accept the beautiful ways in which our differences challenge rather than divide us?
