  9. Nice capture. It’s often said that photographs teach us how to see things we would not ordinarily notice. This is an excellent example of that thought.

    Beautiful colors here. And the ripple is perfect! We were at Giverny a couple of years ago and it is still wondrously beautiful.

  25. MrRommie – I would like to try to share here some of my own opinions and ideas about all parts of life surrounding me, plus pass on some of others which I like. Some may sound strange to you, with some you may agree. I accept and respect everyone's right to be different, but have no understanding for some seeking confirmation of that through deliberate hurting others. Everything posted here represents my private ideas and should not be in any way associated with any organisation I happen to work for.

Currently working with GoldenNetwork.TV in a project that will make her dystopian fantasy Mercy Series and her young adult fantasy Dark Fey Trilogy available globally via ROKU, Morgan’s captivating tales serve as a backdrop for powerful messages like ‘show thankfulness through kindness and appreciate blessings through generosity’ and ‘the only way to achieve peace is by becoming peace’. .

Upcoming projects include a fictional drama in Regency Period England, a non-fiction exploration of the supernatural/paranormal and beliefs around the world, and a return to the realms of Dark Fey in a mind-bending prequel. . When asked how she feels about writing, Morgan has said: “To write; to paint with words as an artist bedecks his canvas with hues and shades and layers of pigmentation; to sing a melody upon which the gaze may linger and over which the heart may muse again and again: to create visual splendor with grammar and language is the most beguiling form of intoxication in which I could ever take pleasure.” .

    This is just breathtaking…what skill you have with a camera 😉
