Denise Beverly (Denisebeverly)
Bristol, US

I am in constant wonder of the world that God has created for us.

I owe any and all genes for photography to my daddy. battling hard against cancer and depression in his later years, he will always be the strapping young man in the photo to me...i love you daddy, you are a gift!
