Through the Lens Weekend

Through the lens I see how we are all connected in this world.




Love the regal look to this Cape Ann MA sea gull and the downy looking feathers ~

    1. Nature provides the cloud ~ I was paying attention at the time - a practice that I try live ~ another way to say that is more trendy is 'Living in the NOw' ~
