I love almost nothing better than to trek outside with my camera and find fairy habitats and reference pictures! The outdoors are a constant inspiration for my artwork, and luckily I've lived in some gorgeous places... I've tried to pick some of my most magical photographs of God's beautiful creation, I hope you all enjoy!

BEAUTIFUL SPRINGTIDE IN THE YARD |

This was an absolutely eerie, fairy kind of evening in early spring -- the trees by the creek around my house. |

Imagine many frogs croaking in the background!

I liked the way the dewdrops stayed perfectly round on these. |

Poor little mousie! We had to chase the cats away from her. |

Wild Mustard by the creek. |

BELOVED LILAC BUSH
This lilac bush grows right outside the living room window. It's a constant source of beauty, lovely smells, and butterfly magnet!
