First afternoon off work because I felt like it...upon arrival...the realization that idle time is a burden set in...the mind wanders...there was only one solution...take a walk with the MKIII and the 100-400mm. After about 15 minutes in the still 85 Deg F heat I was done...my first thoughts on what to call this shoot was "Butterflies & B.S." A Variety of Things Seen.
The Swallowtails were on the Ironweed as was eye too...like an Angel spreading Its Wings...inviting a path to salvation...to be lifted from the rabble.

It matters not where I go while moving about in nature. I do not need to take costly trips to far away locations. It would be cool to see Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon and so many other great national parks, but the thought of big summer crowds always keeps me away.
For me, there is still so much to see in the Olympic National Park, Mount Rainier, Mount Baker and the North Cascades, that I truly feel as if my roots will remain home. The next 25 plus years will be here and I like it that way.
I am at peace in any forest setting with moving water near by. The Gray Wolf River above gave me a chance to sit and marvel at how lucky I am to live here in Washington state.

There had been a passing shower and these little pink wildflowers were glistening in the late afternoon Sun.

The Garden sits nestled in the West Hills of Portland, Oregon overlooking the city and providing a tranquil, urban oasis for locals and travelers alike. Designed in 1963, it encompasses 12 acres with eight separate garden styles, and includes an authentic Japanese Tea House, meandering streams, intimate walkways, and a spectacular view of Mt. Hood. This is a place to discard worldly thoughts and concerns and see oneself as a small but integral part of the universe.
Born out of a hope that the experience of peace can contribute to a long lasting peace. Born out of a belief in the power of cultural exchange. Born out of a belief in the excellence of craft, evidence in the Garden itself and the activities that come from it. Born out of a realization that all of these things are made more real and possible if we honor our connection to nature.

You smiled at me
and suddenly
I realized;
until he found
his flower,
the honeybee
did not even begin
to realize
he was a honeybee
at all.

... My views have changed in many ways. A special realization caught me on the return: We had this extremely turbulent return flight, racing at five miles per second through the atmosphere. The parachutes opened, we crashed to the floor and rolled over a few times. When the capsule came to a stop, my window pointed to the floor. I saw a stone, a flower and a clump of grass - and I thought to myself: I'm home. I was in Kazakhstan. But at that moment, my home was not Houston, Texas, where I lived with my family. My home was the earth. I think people should not have to fly into space to see that. Unfortunately, just in the world, people's views are becoming ever more narrow-minded.

... Meine Ansichten haben sich in vielerlei Hinsicht geändert. Eine besondere Erkenntnis ereilte mich bei der Rückkehr: Wir hatten diesen extrem turbulenten Rückflug, rasten mit fünf Meilen pro Sekunde durch die Atmosphäre. Die Fallschirme öffneten sich, wir krachten auf den Boden und überschlugen uns ein paar mal. Als die Kapsel zum Stillstand kam, zeigte mein Fenster Richtung Boden. Ich sah einen Stein, eine Blume und einen Büschel Gras - und ich dachte mir: Ich bin zu Hause. Dabei war ich ja in Kasachstan. Aber in diesem Moment war mein Zuhause nicht Houston, Texas, wo ich mit meiner Familie lebte. Mein Zuhause war die Erde. Ich glaube, die Menschen sollten nicht ins Weltall fliegen müssen, um das zu erkennen. Leider werden gerade auf der Welt die Ansichten der Menschen immer engstirniger.

1955 Nash Ambassador Country Club
Shortly before his death in 1954, Nash Motors President George W. Mason enjoyed a partial realization of his dream to merge the independent auto manufacturers into a large conglomerate to better compete with the likes of General Motors, Ford Motor Co. and Chrysler. In May 1954, Nash and Hudson merged to form American Motors. 1955 was the first model year for merged production of the two marques. In the full-sized lines, separate identity was retained, but both nameplates were put on what was basically a Nash body.
Nash had a slow start in 1955, but once started, moved along at a brisk pace. The company wound up the year with model year sales of 109,102 vehicles. Calendar-year output was 83,852 Ramblers and 51,315 Nashes for 10th place in the industry. Dealer contests and sales promotions were instrumental in stimulating sales. A total of 81,237 Nash/Hudson vehicles were built, the highest run ever for the brands. An added feather in Rambler’s cap was its consistent holding of the No. 1 spot in used car value, as reflected in NADA reports.
Nash merged with Kelvinator in 1937, but unlike an appliance, the 1955 Nash Ambassador was a take-notice automobile, even at a time when other automakers were beginning to offer high performance or chrome-enriched glitz. By 1957, the Nash name would disappear completely after earlier being folded into the American Motors Corporation along with Hudson. This makes the “swan-song” cars produced during Nash’s final years quite appealing to not just Nash enthusiasts, but also collectors with a history bent. The appeal of the 1955 Ambassador is derived from its innovative “inboard” headlamps and “Scena-Ramic” wrap-around windshield. It also offered a new 220-hp Jetfire V-8 coupled to the Packard-produced Ultramatic Drive, which helped remind car shoppers that an appliance background need not mean boring cars.

"I think you can understand the challenge of what Robert Bresson termed "necessary images," especially as it relates to the reduction of the mystery of faith from the broadest of its dimensions to a human 2D image. I have been wrestling with how to move beyond the confines of the iconic and traditional to explore faith and mystery in visual terms that make it intriguing, appealing, and approachable. I suppose it will always be a journey and never a destination"

Photographed in the Self-Realization Meditation Garden. It is a cliff top garden high above the Pacific Ocean 🌊 in Encinitas California - Cardiff By The Sea
captured in palma de mallorca, this photo depicts the silhouette of a man deep in thought, with the shadow of a street lamp cast above him. in german, there is a saying "ein licht geht auf," which means "a light goes on" when someone finds a solution or understands something. the interplay of light and shadow in this image beautifully symbolizes the moment of realization and clarity.

This is the realization of a trip I have been wanting to do for a long time...
A trio of Deseret Power Railway E60Cs departs the Deserado Mine loadout near Dinosaur, CO with the morning loads for the Bonanza Power Plant near Bonanza, UT. The train will take about an hour to cover the 35 miles between the two points on a line with no rail connections.
I suppose the employee in the truck was wondering what I was up to, but when he saw me scrambling to pack up to get to the next location, he smiled and said "better hurry."

I just spent a few hours working on uploading 2 photos to my website to have the electricity fail on me, so lost everything and have to go back to square one!!! So I will upload one at a time in the hope that this does not happen again!

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️
the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.
