Nikki’s Photography

…Heaven’s in our hearts…

Having spent the last couple of weeks in Mexico,  these photos and more will soon be added to the True Colors website, a photographic tribute to Mexico that I created during 2007. Each B/W photo is digitally superimposed with a central, colored version of the same.

Excerpt from “Heaven’s Here On Earth” by Tracy Chapman from her CD, “New Beginnings”:
Heaven’s here on earth
in our faith in humankind
in our respect for what is earthly
in our unfaltering belief in peace and love and understanding.
I’ve seen and met angels wearing the disguise of ordinary people leading ordinary lives,
filled with love compassion forgiveness and sacrifice.
Heaven’s in our hearts.

It was a rainy day, so I had Ouimette Canyon all to myself!

Spurge, variety Blackbird. With a name sounding more like an illness than a fun plant to have in the garden, the flowers keep producing two out of the one before it. Dr. Suess was surely inspired by plants like this.
