A Nice Escape from the World

I went to a nursery this morning and got more plants for the deck and garden. I got Zinnias as they are one of Carter’s favorites.

A Mysterious Roll of the Dice

That angel was in a cemetery in Hannover, Germany and taken in the spring of 1999. I was shooting only film then, obviously, and still working with my usually stuff.
