Inspired by Nichole Van and her group {Elevate}, several photographers and I have decided to take some time each month to explore the fine art side of photography. Each month, we will post a photo or series of images focused on art and photography. There are no rules. Just post what comes from the heart and ignite those creative juices, allowing the inner artist a chance to explore and fly.

For this month, I chose images from my recent trip to Assateague Island National Park
