I am a fledgling photographer and especially love exploring Nature up close through the lens of my camera. My interest in photography has opened up a new world for me, and I've discovered that behind every picture, there is a story waiting to be told.

 Pansies

O give me not red roses,
That early dews have wet!
They speak to me of kisses
That are remembered yet.

O bring me not white roses,
That summer winds have drest!
For once I placed white roses
Upon a quiet breast.

But bring me purple pansies ...

For pansies are "heart's ease."
