the vessel Rubicon in the Bay St. Louis harbor.

Symbolic....

Beverly talks about her work:  

Photography has helped me to slow down, pay attention and to notice the extraordinary in the ordinary.  It feels rather meditative to me.

 I most enjoy being out before sunrise, when the day is fresh.  It’s a treasure hunt and a magic show all at once.  Most mornings I run along the beach in Bay Saint Louis or in the Harbor, pausing often to take pictures... enjoying the play of light and color as it kisses the water.

To capture a fleeting moment holds magic.  To share that magic gives me joy.

Magic

While walking Jack, I looked up to see this magic. I exhaled again and it was gone.

The house of the rising sun.

Merry, merry - the BSL Harbor during the holidays.

2020 weary

As above, so below

Fear Less... Fearless!

A pausing.

Treasure

Breathtaking splendor over the harbor.

If you pay attention, there are hearts everywhere.

Sweet reminder: You are loved.
