What I Think, What I See and What I Find

I took this picture right before the sunset in the middle of bear country. A good long exposure made allowed me to expose it this way. I ran back to the car like I have never done before 😬. . . #potd #fotodiaria #totalyworthit #waterfall #longexposure #sooc #nofilter #binghamfalls

A sea lion taking a nap on top of the rock. The blend of colors, light, and shadow appealed to me. I dragged the shutter to make the ocean waves blend smoothly as the sea lion remained frozen still. (at La Jolla Cove)

Today I spent the day hiking along the pacific coast and taking pictures. For me the weather was amazing (windy, cool, cloudy). I believe there is something meditative and healing about being in the nature. I feel that I am forced to be in the moment. The sound, feeling, and smell of the environment take over my senses. All in all an awesome experience that I could only wish and hope that everyone would experience to some degree regularly. A while ago, after seeing, the movie "The theory of everything" I became even more appreciative of my ability to see, hear, walk, and run. I wanted to share my experience from today for those whom do not have the ability to experience it in the same way that I did. Writing this post I remembered what some unknown source said "Share for the world to see, not for the world to see you" #disabilities #optoutside #currentmood #nojudgment #thatlacommunity #potd #pacificcoast #peace #meditative #nofilter #sooc

Went to Vermillionville and came across this exhibit. This is what Louisiana Cajuns went through went they were prohibited from speaking their first language. Spent like 30 minutes talking to a local Cajun and understood that the culture and food was never lost, but mostly the language. The person said that, however, the language is making a strong come back and is not on the brink of extinction. I was glad to see that their culture and language is regaining strength. Unfortunately, I am not sure that Alaskan natives have the same luck after going through something similar. #thatlacommunity #freedom # potd #louisiana #cajun

I am drawn to the beauty and geometry of these Dahlias. I felt compelled to capture and preserve the state they are in. I cannot get over how perfect the pattern is. #dahlia #bloom #flowers #thatlacommunity #nature #louisiana
