Autumn Iterations

Having lived in tropical places for 7 years, I have been thrilled to rediscover the wonder of the 4 seasons in the Midwest. I find beauty in all seasons, but am especially enamored by nature in the fall. The bold lines and colors fascinate me and I must have about a thousand pictures in my gallery of this time of the year.

I have recently stopped working due to Parkinson’s symptoms and have been exploring stress relieving techniques.

“Autumn Iterations” brought these joys together.
