"Capturing the Connections" ~~ With my photography, I am always searching...in hope...to allow creativity to flow through me...that I may truly see...something more...something beyond -- the light, the shadows; movement; an angle, a design; a glance, a thought...that is joy, peace, love, contemplation -- and...by grace, capturing the moment of that connection.

"Light by itself is invisible, revealing itself only when reflected off something. God's presence is like that in some ways. Invisible. Perceived only when reflected by some object or action and striking the eye of faith. It is in God's light that we see light, for it is only when we see with eyes of faith that we recognize God's presence around us and know God as the source of that life."* Each of these images was a moment of Light, a glimmer of hope, a reminder of truth, given by grace, guiding me on my journey. I hope that you feel the Light Shining Through…
