Me and My Camera…Part 1

What is the slogan, Carpe Diem?  Sometimes I have to just seize the opportunity to take my camera for a walk!

What’s New?

Sometimes the best medicine for a stressful day is just grabing the camera and heading outdoors! Fortunately for me, I don’t have to go very far to find something interesting that catches my eye!
