I have friends who scoff at professional photographers. "It's only the equipment", they say. But the truth is, to capture a photo that speaks volumes, or has an innate natural beauty, takes a great eye, great patience and terrific timing. All of these were obviously present for these 15 marvelous photos taken recently, which I'm happy to share here with you.
