I will be showing  you more over the next few days.

The Flight of the Butterflies

Through the eyes of Cara Bronstein

My daughter has a great eye for photography.  The following pictures were taken by her on a wonderful day we spent together in Santa Barbara at the botanic gardens there many months ago.  She had just gotten the camera and was learning all it's function, I think she did a fabulous job.  And like the butterflies she has moved on and spread her wings..
