Nature’s Wisdom is my biggest book that I created (334 pages). It took a while to research names of the plants and select photos. It took for me about a month to create this book.

When we go to nature, our eyes become brighter. All of the sudden, we become Alive. We sense every moment. We see more. We hear more. We follow our senses. We, humans, are not computers. We need nature to recharge ourselves. This is why it is so important to protect wild places.

Nature’s Wisdom is a walk in the park and a stroll through a beautiful garden, while indulging in our senses. It is exploring wild places and wildflowers and trees that make our spirits come alive. It is a hike through a forest and finding magic. It is a mini vacation at the beach. I hope when you read this book and look through many photos, you will feel closer to nature. I hope you will start seeing that our world is full of wonder and magic and full of new things to see. I hope you will take a break and take in what nature offers. I hope you and others will take steps to take care of her and its beings.

Light. Photography is an invitation to dance with life. It is seeing, sensing, and feeling every moment. It is playing with light and capturing what it matters. Photography is a time machine, a return ticket to the past. It is a precious moment of Now. It is a glance to the future. It is a connection with others. Photography is also a way of a wizard.

We are human beings. Many of us live in our minds. When our minds are overwhelmed, we do not see what is around. We stop feeling.

It invites us to play with life’s light and shadows. It opens our eyes to see ever-changing water designs. Playing with bubbles reminds us about our childhood. Why do we get so serious when we grow up? Photos in motion reveal a quick stop in time. Time flies so fast, yet we do not notice. The photos catch a motion inviting us to dance through life. With different apps, we can get creative with captured images, using our imagination. Reflections on the buildings intrigue us. If we capture the sun’s reflection in the moving water, we can catch many stars. Painting with the Light is one of many different creative techniques to make art. Photography always gives us a different perspective in view and life. Even rain makes the world beautiful.

Happiness is… is my very first book that I created. It is a different format than original because formats have changed to be available in the stores.

What if we would become grateful for every day, hour, minute we live? What if we would take time to appreciate little things that we did not pay attention to before? “Happiness is …” is a reminder that each moment is precious. Happiness is a gratitude for life; it is the sum of little, tiny joys. The purpose of this book is to make your day brighter. We just need to literally stop and smell the roses. There is so much beauty all around us. We just have to notice it, explore it, see it, feel it. Life is a wonderful gift.

Love is… (for Singles) was my second book. It is a different format than original because formats have changed to be available for sale in the stores.

When you think of love, you probably think of romance. Singles long for that special connection with someone. To be single is not a bad thing once we get to know ourselves again. Love can be expanding. We can have love for family, for friends, for pets, for nature and most importantly for life. Love is (for Singles) is a refreshing way to look at life while being single. The important thing is to have a sense of humor and to enjoy the freedom that comes with it. Love is (for Singles) will bring you a smile and lightness to your heart. Being single can be a fun adventure until we find someone special to share our life with.

The Best of Sarasota was a third book that I self-published in 2009. It is not available in stores because times have changed, so have the places that are no longer here in Sarasota.
