    I love nature and am an amateur photographer.  Taking pictures of the beautiful things in this world balances me and gives me calmness.

      I feel that way too! I often take photos of all the beautiful gardens in the Hillsboro neighborhoods during my lunch. Maybe we can go for a hike and practice photography together some time. :)
