MORE ABOUT THE DREAMER
I am most inspired as a nature photographer because I find that nearly every human emotion or dilemma has a descriptive or instructional counterpart in nature. From the epic struggle of the caterpillars self-inflicted transformation into a butterfly and the ache of a stamen for the determined touch of a pollinator; to the tenacity and stubbornness of plants in the desert and the dependability of the oceans tides and the cycle of time – nature tells us everything we need to know about ourselves and how to live.

In keeping with my philosophy that nature flourishes with as little human interference as possible, I try to keep my photographs 'as is', with as little human interference as possible. This means I seldom use any post-production editing techniques. There is nothing I could possibly do to make nature more beautiful than it already is!

Thank you for visiting Bee Dreams online!

In love,
Megan

PS - the general consensus is that bees do not actually sleep, ever. But if they did, and if they dreamt, I like to think that their dreams would look like this
