Always Flowers - Zinnias - Gardens Tank Top

The composition here is completely natural - this is part of the view from my kitchen window. I zoomed in on my colorful zinnias (Zinnia elegans or Zinnia violacea), looking for a composition that would nicely frame this quotation: "There are always flowers for those who want to see them" by the artist Henri Matisse. I find the words motivational and inspirational and so true. We must always remember to seek the good in those around us.

I use my camera to explore the world around me and as a basis for creative expression. Because I live in Nebraska, I have a fondness for rural scenes that will be evident as you explore my images, but I enjoy traveling and have many other interests as well. I hope you enjoy your visit.
