Make A Wish

                     The ending of one thing is also the beginning of another. What is the next adventure? There is enough room in this life with its many beginnings and endings for things you could not imagined last week, last year, or ten years from now.

Night Blooms

 

 A beautiful, magical, enchanted evening of nature dressed for Christmas with millions 

                  of lights in full bloom.  

Nature's Perfection

 

   I am overwhelmed by the ineffable beauty of the world around us -- its diversity, its myriad colors, its constant ebb and flow, its stirring  call to the human spirit -- and I am grateful for the the poets and other writers who have always called upon us to pay attention and be present with nature.

"The Eagle Has Landed"

                                         Morning sunlight always enhances the beauty of nature.

Catch of the Day

          We really enjoyed the eagles this morning flying, diving, and catching fish. I did not notice the fish in the claws of the eagle until the photo was processed. What a delight and surprise for both me and the eagle, I think more me than the eagle. I especially love the gracefulness of the wings and the lightning that brings out the beauty of this wonderful bird.

Live for Others

        Acknowledging the good that is already in your life is the foundation for all abundance. 

Perspective/Devotion/Decay

                 ~Ubi Cairtas et amor  deus ibi et.~ 

 

                                God still works here even in the mist of decay!

Anyway

       The gap between what we intend to create and what we actually produce is huge

                                                        Create anyway

       The struggle to view uncertainty as an opportunity and potential is huge

                                                         Try anyway

       The difficulty of loving those who disagree with us is huge

                                                          Love anyway.
 

Into the Wild

 

                  

More of the Wild

 

Eyes at Sand Wash

             Recently I was on the high desert plateau of Colorado. This amazing adventure was in pursuit to photograph wild Mustang. In search of these amazing horses, we found this formation which many interpretations could be made. We spent time in amazement as well as applying thoughts and ideas to this natural erosion in the sand. Notice the heart below the face. 

Last Hummingbird

                             This beautiful female perched on the branch is not on her way South.

Beautiful Miracle

                   People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk on water, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the various beautiful birds of the sky, the curious eyes of a child, our own two eyes. All is a miracle.

Seeing Beyond

Yes or No

Finally on my way to yes I bump into all the places where I said no.

Beyond Opening Up

            The rhododendron unlike many cities in the United States knows when it it time to open up.

A "Secret Garden"

            Into my Secret Garden. What joy, contemplation, and beauty exists at every level of this universe. I thank God everyday for the abundance that surrounds his children. Even in times of disorder we as humans will find order in disorder and bring a new reorder or way of living. Just looking at the beauty of the "Secret Garden" tells us all it will be good, very very good.
