It’s hard to believe that it’s almost the end of 2012. As I look back, I’ve had a wonderful year and have so much to be grateful for. I often say that I have the best job in the world – that I photograph flowers. And I really do mean it because not only do I get to spend my time in nature photographing but I also get to talk with people about photography, nature, flowers and national parks.

I’ve put together a new video for you this holiday season – Peaceful Beauty 2012. It has some of my favorite photographs that I took this year accompanied by the wonderful harp music of Pamela Bruner. The music for this video is “Simple Gifts” from her Sweet Spirit album.

As 2012 comes to a close, I’d like to thank you for all your support and encouragement of me this year. It has meant the world to me.

I’d also like to wish you and all your friends and families a very safe, peaceful and wonderful holiday season and a very Happy New Year.

Take care,
