I'm a free spirited aging hippie
who loves talking to flowers, chasing rainbows
and photographing all the beauty that surrounds us
Thanks for taking a peek into my little world

The If Factor

If only I'd been there
if only I wasn't
if only I could
if only I did

We are too hard on ourselves
perhaps age helps tame that
perhaps that light finally goes on
and we see
we are
only we
and we do
our best
