Willow Stems
Talent develops in tranquillity,
character in the full current of human life. – Goethe
Taken late on a November afternoon, these colorful stems formed a pretty canvas of their own.

- Welcome to Photo Buffet, a growing collection of images showcasing the vast textures, shapes, and colors found in nature. My goal as a photographer is to present slices of God's handiwork that we sometimes miss in the daily rush--hidden treasures placed there by a Creator who majors in details.

Broken Link?
Bonnie, thank you for bringing me back to a one-thing-at-a-time mentality. See, I went away for a bit and got caught up in the frenzied hustle of life. I never knew a photo could minister to me in such a way. Really, thank you.
I love the quote and the photo. There is so much tranquility in the photo.
I love the colors and the pattern in this image. Very nice.
Love the 3-dimensionality of this one. (Is that even a word???!!!)
I am glad to see you back and with such beautiful images of course!
So lovely!
Stunning photo! (love the quote, too, as usual!)
Beautiful – so peaceful!
Your quotes are always so harmonious with your images… love the quietness and colors! A beautiful way to start my morning. Thank you.
This is a beautiful composition. I’ve been so absent as of late, but you are never far from mind. I hope that all is well in your world as you anticipate this beautiful Christmas Season.
Awesome image & composition as always
Beautiful work Bonnie, love the vertical lines you composed with this, very nice work.
Bonnie I absolutely love how you search so hard to see beauty in everything. You don’t just narrow it down to one thing but you find it in everything. Another amazing shot!
Lovely soft colors – the blue in the background makes it.
