Nature’s Alphabet
September 4th, 2009We recently returned from our annual family vacation to San Juan Island. It was a much needed trip—we all were able to take a break from our daily routines and unwind. Who would have thought that grabbing a camera and heading out for a morning of exploration could be so much fun?
