Breathing Space: April

When the winter crocus blooms in my yard, I know that spring is on its way. They have even peeped out under a blanket of snow in the past.

Seeing the beautiful ocean and feeling the cold air on our face, we felt that we were in heaven. I'm not vivid writer, and I could not use any better words to describe the beauty of Big Sur.

While the entire island of Kauai lends itself to a great, big exhale, this view made me inhale into my deepest core.

The petals on my Helleborus plant provide a soft, pastel-colored backdrop for its intricate and perfectly formed center. The wonders of nature!

I think sunsets and sunrises are to be viewed in person. I think pictures inspire us to make it a goal to seek out beauty in nature daily.

This is one of the grandest and most majestic Monterey Cypress trees I have ever seen. It almost looks like a big old Oak. I came across it on a photographic expedition down the Pacific Coast Highway in the winter of 2010.

This is the only road that leads to Galichnik, a small town in Western Macedonia on the mountain Bistra. If you want to feel empty space and wind all around, you should be there.

I am a light chaser rather than a photographer—or is that what a photographer really is? This is one of the joyous moments when I almost caught up with the early morning light of a fresh spring day.

Are you a great photographer? We want to see!

I became totally lost in the moment as I took photos of this mare and her foal. Only 3 days old, it was ready to take on the world! One of Mother Nature's many miracles.

Pacific Grove is beautifully situated on the southern edge of the Monterey Bay in California. This image was captured during a high surf winter storm photo expedition in 2010. I feel very fortunate to be a local native of this region, and it is my pleasure to share it with Oprah.com readers.

I wanted to capture this blooming dogwood tree against the robin's egg–colored sky because I thought the color contrast was just perfect.

These tulips in my front yard were so beautiful that I couldn't resist getting on their level to capture this shot. This photo is one of my favorites, and it reminds me of this quote:

"If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more merry-go-rounds. I would pick more daisies."

From the moment I saw these beautiful water lilies, I wanted to photograph them. I was so happy with the way this photo turned out. Whenever I see it, it reminds me of the relaxing time we spent by the beach in Puerto Rico.
