Beauty Within

Photographer's Statement:

As I was walking I saw a bush that looked like any other bush.  I pulled back some of the branches, like layers of an onion, and revealed the hidden beauty within.  We can find beauty around us, especially as seasons change as things move from barren to blooming.
