The Beauty Around Us

The Passing Storm, taken during the 2009 Rainy Season from my home in Costa Rica

They say an image is worth a thousand words.... so it is with an image that I start to write this.  Ever since I can remember, I've been an observer.  As with most children I happily watched, was amazed and learned from everything around me.  When my outlook began to "mature" into that of an artist, my focus was divided into that which was beauty, and that which was muse.

Even the rain seems to inspire.  Yes, it is starting to get chillier in these October days, especially with the extra humidity caused by this excess of rain.  But how can you not admire the beauty of a tropical rainstorm?
