"Lines create an experience beyond the literal. There is so much potential in losing and finding the line again. Like letting go and being awakened. Lines, like music, create potential for mystery."

Crossed paths with a cute (albeit grumpy-looking) juvenile Gopher Tortoise at a local park. He/she was busy munching away on greenery and was relatively unphased by my presence, pausing only for a second as I knelt on the ground with my camera. I snapped a handful of photos and quietly observed from a distance. And before I moved on, I made sure to tell him/her how cute they were. 😍
The Gopher Tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus) is a native species to Florida and is protected by law. Although it doesn’t happen often because human development encroaches on their habitat, it’s always a delight to see these creatures in the wild. 🐢

When the very last light of day hits a rain shower over the mountains, fiercely magical things happen! Nature, in all her infinite artistry, paints a splendid picture right before your eyes -- and all you can do is hope to be ready; hope to do it justice; hope to remember to pick your jaw up off of the ground because you can't believe this is happening & it looks oh-so-crazy gorgeous & HIT THE DARN SHUTTER BUTTON! :) I am forever intrigued by and learning from Nature, and I feel gratefully whole capturing some of her most stunning moments! | Apex, NV
Not the most ideal lighting, but I couldn’t NOT photograph this big guy! 🐂 Spotted while on an overcast afternoon drive around the Texas Hill Country. Captured from the side of the road, with a fence between myself & this beautiful beast (because, trespassing & personal safety & all that jazz...) It sure felt pretty awesome to finally get the chance to have a close-ish peek at a Longhorn, especially considering their legendary symbolism in Texan culture. ⭐️

Part of my Surfcoast /Great Ocean Road trip. Landed in Torquay and the weather had been ordinary for a couple of days, luckily this particular morning the weather was kind and gave me a chance to take a few shots.

Sometimes my brain feels so noisy. Here, in the outdoors, it's quiet. A fresh start. A gentle breeze. The beaming faces of flowers.

Life -- what a trip. Every day I'm alive is a day of knowing less. I feel fortunate to be here. But I sure do wrestle with a lot. (Ahh, the price we pay as conscience human beans.)

There are times I wish life felt simpler. But if I awoke one day & it was all simple, black & white answers... well, I think I'd miss all of the colors.

Happy first day of Spring and Vernal Equinox, y’all! 🌱

While it sure didn’t seem like it at the moment, the 2:30am alarm turned out to be worth it. I lugged my camera & tripod out to the driveway to be able to get a clear view of this colorful celestial show. I struggled with some camera shake and blurred images at first, and towards the end of totality, the humidity spiked to 91% which resulted in my lens fogging up so I couldn’t shoot anymore after that. But seeing the total eclipse with my eyes was the most rewarding part. And as a bonus, I did end up with a couple of good shots like this one. I hope you were able to catch a glimpse last night — if not, enjoy this image! 😊
