A space to contemplate…
So far, summer has not afforded me as much opportunity to get out and get lost in photography as I would like.

#192 This is Zola…a new friend! She is just adorable. As I held her and got to know her a little more I was struck by #life. We are all #alive but what is the essence of that life?
