Shy Beauty

Posted on January 8, 2017 by russtowne

shy-beauty I tend to like and collect things that are built to last such as those made of metal and wood, but I also love to experience beautiful, delicate, ephemeral things such as flowers and snowflakes.

My eye was drawn to this shy beauty. She seemed to me to embody graceful innocence.

With Love,

Russ
