A photograph is the
pause button of life.

Photography is the story
I fail to put into words.
Destin Sparks



Whatever is left,
Fills the space.

It can be beautiful
And spare.

The essential 
Is still there.

Let It be a
Foretaste of heaven

Love You,
Cloudia & Pixie

I love the beauty of the first 3 pictures, especially the ones of people sitting on the driftwood and of Pixie. I really don't think that McDonald's beverages will taste anything like heavenly ambrosia.

That's true, the pause button. Nice way to think of it.
