Satori Moments Beauty In Nature- Peace In Mind

Cattle Point Lighthouse and easterly viewpoints of Lopez and Whidbey Island. The Cascade mountains hidden behind the distant cloud cover. San Juan Island, Washington state.

A welcome visitor to the garden. Looking back to autumn images with some welcome texture and color bringing life to the predominantly dormant seasonal themes.

Spending more time with my friends and shooting informal candid portraits. I’d love to fly away with them sometimes.

Back home. This is where my heart and soul will always be most at peace. Central California coast. Point Pinos- Steinbeck Country.... Pacific Grove.

Amazing beautiful clouds and sky in eastern Washington today.

Low tide and a colorful sunset sky. Ruby beach, Olympic National Park, Washington State.

The skies are alive! Late afternoon light and shadow plays offer some spectacular visuals this road weary traveler.

Sunrise canoe trip. New River, Belize, near Lamani Lodge.

Costa Rica bliss and the Finest trip of my life....View from our deck. Film photography

The salt spray, the cool mist, and the roar of the crashing surf.  Swallowed in the rich aroma of decomposing kelp that, mixed with the sweet fragrance of moist Cedar bark and needles which line the coastal rain forest.  For me, there is no place for which those cycles of life and death are more tactile than along that wild seashore. Ah, what great medicine that is. Medicine for the soul!

Off the beaten path, Northern California, Mt. Shasta.

There were moments, sometimes extending into hours, and even days- when the mind and spirit were pure, clear and connected to all the life, matter and energy of this world and the cosmic eternity. Might it be possible to recapture that ecstasy? Somewhere near Zion, Utah
