What a beautiful capture, Donna...it so typifies who I believe Julianne to be...a free-spirited soul, who loves and lives grandly and spontaneously but also is so strongly tethered to the natural grandeur of mother earth...the best of both! Happy Birthday, SoCal - Enjoy your special day and all the many more to come! #1339291
