Plants — Big and Small

I love photographing them in the most beautiful light—even though they lose none of their beauty in the shade: plants.
Whether it’s a tiny bit of moss or an ancient tree, everything has its own charm.
And more often than not, they’re especially lovely to look at when they surprise us in an unexpected place.
