A Prime Portal

I've always been fond of photography and how those who have the ability to see through the camera lens capturing images that stimulate the senses.  Photographs as I see, are tactiles of the minds eye,  photographers, lenders of the eye of their minds.  Here I'd like to share with you a couple who's collaboration has produced some of my favorite images from some of my most favorite places here in the United States.  I'd like to introduce you to...

Lovely tide pools at low tide.  Captured here at the Pacific Ocean in Davenport, California.
