I wonder venture that most people walk past this tree without looking at, or taking the time to really think about what they see – the same people that ignore the faces and animals in clouds.

Do you see what I see? Maybe, but then again, maybe not.

The ice crystals are amazing – perhaps more so as they are on the sand, alongside a river that flows into Georgia Strait.

Self portraits? Sometimes, as I am one of the most picky and camera shy people you will ever meet – that’s why I take great pictures of people.

I understand how traumatic a lousy portrait is, and how amazing a good one can be…
