May 2015 Honors

I am so grateful for another month to share my love for my little angel and her beauty with other people. Below are recognitions from last May 2015. Thank you to the communities who help artists develop and learn through hubs and communities, for the support of fellow photographers, family and friends, and for the support of all Applewood Photography fans. And of course my beautiful daughter who lets me practice the art of photography daily through her silly antics and curiosity. She is oh so patient with me. ♥
