Taken in Tunga/Zuga, a remote village in Nigeria. Mary is aged 12 years old and her mission is to care for her younger brother. Each day Mum and Dad work in the small field from sunrise to sunset. there is no school here and the nearest one is 4 miles away. Children are so precious and I cannot help but think of the great benefits our children have here in England and other developed countries. Please help us to help those in rural and isolated villages in Africa.

After the winter months it is time for us to awaken also.. let our spirits roam, open our arms to the gifts Mother Nature has to offer us, embrace them, accept them….

While I was chatting on the phone with my Yorkshire friends, Jesika and Jim, a lovely Gulf Fritillary was flitting about the garden where I was sitting. I captured this image of the butterfly and would like to dedicate it to Jesika and Jim in thanksgiving for their faithful friendship and for Jesika’s inspiring photography work with butterflies; she is the queen of this type of photo and she inspires me to appreciate the beauty of these heavenly creatures. God bless you both, Jesika and Jim! From the U.S. Gulf coast to the U.K. this one’s for you!
Taken 9/7/09 near Madera Canyon in Green Valley, AZ. Yes, I know that the butterfly could be in better focus, but I liked it anyway. That micro lens can be very frustrating!
