Ahh Whitney, so gorgeous. It is soooo satisfying to see plants I hold dear truly elevated via the camera lens. Your eye is a very refined guide for that tool. Pure magic✨

Your photos illustrate the eloquence of simplicity, the promise of new life around us. All we need to do is notice.

Talk about lush, green leaves, I don't think I've seen anything quite so exquisite. And I wonder how leaves can capture my entire being and encircle it. Then the occasional colorful bud comes into view, which doesn't add to the leaves, but blesses them. And I loved Mother Goose telling her nursery rhymes to the swamp flowers. Such a quiet walk and yet so full of sound from nature's presence. Your pictures are filled with deep, rich presence. Thank you so much, Whitney!

What beautiful photographs, I used to call the beauty of diffused light, as ‘Gods soft-box’

Thank you. It absolutely is like a soft-box with that high cloud, such perfect lighting for photography. ♡

Yes I worked as a creative director of photography for the largest Canadian commercial studio. We had 40 photographers and 250 employees, I loved every minute of every stressful overloaded day🤪

Stunning photos. My favorite is the one with the white star-shaped flowers. They look like they were made by crochet!

Thank you so much again, Whitney. I found the first arum lily of autumn in our garden this morning, and it is so beautiful. I love the way you remind us of the astonishing beauty of simple, ordinary things.

Glorious! Breathtaking photos. I ADORE ferns when they are in furled and unfurling mode. There is something just magnificent and magical about them.
