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

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.

The motif of the new garden is the Noh play "Hagoromo."
Noh is one of Japan’s traditional types of theater with more than 600 years of history.
In the story, a fisherman named Hakuryō finds a celestial robe (hagoromo) on the shore. He intends to keep it as a family heirloom, but the celestial maiden laments her inability to return to the celestial realm without her robe. Moved by her sorrow, Hakuryō sympathizes and agrees to return the robe in exchange for witnessing her celestial dance. Although the celestial maiden initially hesitates, fearing Hakuryō's doubt, she eventually returns to the heavens after performing her graceful dance, leaving behind blessings upon the land.
The garden's design draws inspiration from traditional Japanese paintings, aiming to represent two-dimensional elements in a three-dimensional space. It features representations of white clouds and waves, symbolizing the celestial realm and the waterside, respectively.
As I repeatedly reconstruct the garden to align with my vision, I sometimes doubt whether it truly conveys the warmth I intend. In moments of uncertainty, I find solace in the unwavering support and trust of AKI69, whose presence has been instrumental in the realization of this project. The beauty of the architecture, plants, and creatures within the garden constantly inspires and encourages me.
May this new garden become a testament to beauty, enriching your soul with its presence.
Looking forward to the enchanting presence of celestial beings in this garden where the worlds of the sea and sky intertwine without doubt.

新庭のモチーフは能楽「羽衣」です。
漁師の伯陵が浜辺で天女の羽衣を見つけ、家宝にしようと手に取りますが、天女が羽衣が無ければ月の世界（天界）へ帰れない事を嘆き悲しむ様に白陵は同情し羽衣を返す代わりに月の舞（天界の舞）を見せて欲しいと願います。天女は羽衣がなければ舞えないので先にお返し下さいと言いますが、白陵は羽衣を返せば天女は舞を踊らず、すぐに帰ってしまうのではないかと疑います。天女はそれは人間が持つ疑いで天界には偽りは無しと語り、白陵は天女を信じ羽衣を返します。天女は鳳凰の如く国土に瑞兆を降ら踊りながら天に帰っていくシンプルながら気高いストーリーと美しい舞が特徴の能楽です。
庭の構成は、立体を平面で表現し続けた日本の絵画から着想を得て、白雲と白波を製作し月の世界と水辺の階層表現としました。
自分は何度も庭の基本を組み、より目指す庭に近くなるようオブジェクトや構成を変えて組み直し完成を目指す中、庭の持つ温度が伝わるのかを己を怪しむ自分がいるのも確かです。
不信の時に、もしかしたらあの人ならば伝わるかも知れないと願い確固たる至心の存在AKI69に感謝と信頼を。貴方の存在なしでは完成まで至らなかった、美しい建築や植物達、愛らしい姿を見るたびに勇気を与えられ満ちていく。
庭に来てくれた方々の中へ新庭が美しさの塵となって降り積もっていく事を願う。
疑心なき月の世界、白陵が生きた海が空と交わる庭に麗しき天人天女の皆々様が現れることを楽しみにしています。

I would argue that nothing gives life more purpose than the realization that every moment of consciousness is a precious and fragile gift.
Steven Pinker
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.

By far the most colorful sunrise I was able to capture while visiting Myrtle Beach last week. As I changed angles, walking in and out of the surf I noticed that the bright red color extended to the wet sand and water all around my feet. I was engulfed and now part of the sunrise. My mind and heart immediately went into a deep state of worship, thanking God for all that he has blessed me with and allowing me to witness his glory one more day.
Shortly there after, that *^%$#@^% 1983 song by Katrina and The Waves “I’m walking on sunshine” popped into my head and stayed for the better part of the day. I hope that the song, performed by a singer who shares a name with a hurricane and a band by the name of waves, was written about beautiful moment of realization like what I had experienced, and not drugs. No drug can replace the feel of the warm waves and sand around ones ankles and feet with not another soul in sight, the feel and smell of the salty ocean breeze, the sound that only an ocean wave can make as they crash in and then recede back to where they belong.
What a way to start a day!

The sudden realization that 'vegan' wasn't a choice on the menu of life!
This owlet was photographed in the wild, non raptor show, non baited, non zoo!

... 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.
Ron Garan, former NASA astronaut
... 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.

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 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"
a realization that there really isn't much difference between a hide or a skin, except for a splash of color.
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.

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.

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!

Another perspective on the Self-Realization Fellowship. Notice the swans - apparently the symbol of the founder, Paramahansa Yogananda. Shot with Sony RX100.
2018 was one fucking hell of a year. Mostly bad with a few good moments. All lessons learned. Friendships lost. The realization that horrible people lurk in all corners.
I promise myself that I will live for myself in 2019. I will put myself first. My health, my job, my well being. I will not let anyone degrade me or make me question my self worth. I have overcome some of the hardest things this year - and I'm still standing. I'm proud of MYSELF, and that's all that matters.
Here's to you. The people that hurt me, the people that taught me, the people that helped me. You all shaped me in some way in 2018.
Happy New Years, Fuckers.

Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky.
