Nature – Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #33

Thanks, Patti, for this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. Nature – now that’s a topic that’s near and dear to my heart! What a broad category! Where do I begin?

Patti may be a city girl, but I’m a wilderness woman, and my whole life revolves around nature. From the mountains
