Hidden away in darkness is a my collection of photographs, images, and random words spoken by both strangers and by those I love and hold close to my heart. I have selfishly been coveting

all of this, each day finding comfort in their secrecy, beauty in their innocence and delight in their words.

For years now, I have been collecting these images and words and for years, they have remained underground, in the hard drive of my computer, the light of day not revealed.

I thought it time to share with others in hopes that someone, somewhere will be inspired as I am, to look beyond and find the simplistic beauty that lies within.

I feel obligated to do so as my collection has brought great joy, smiles when they are most needed and often they serve as a place of rest.

Welcome to my blog, Sunflowers and Sawdust.
