Exalted and distained, adored and hated, cherished and persecuted, the Timber Wolf has experienced all that mankind can dish out. The largest canid in the world has flourished for thousands of years but like so many creatures, the pressures of human advancement and our intemperate need for complete control has left many locally extinct. The realization that wolves play an intricate part in the natural balance of many local ecosystems has lead to their gradual reintroduction into territories that they once called home. The insatiable bloodlust of hunters, the desire of ranchers to protect their herds, and general public ignorance remain the most perilous factors effecting the survival of these beautiful animals. Man's best friend was born of the members of this species and yet we continue to deal them an oppressive blow. A morning spent photographing these amazing creatures at Lakota Wolf Preserve has given me greater respect and an amorous appreciation for our largest earthly canine companions. #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewJersey #Nature in #NorthAmerica #Wolves #TimberWolves #DrDADBooks #Canon #WildlifeConservation
When you love somebody
They'll always leave too soon
But a memory, a memory
Can make a flower bloom
We wanna be remembered
Don't wanna live in vain
But nothing lasts forever
This world is in a losing game
I wanna mean something to somebody else
Feel a significance in the real world
It's not enough to live out a lucky life
I'm forever chasing after time
But everybody dies, dies
If I could buy forever at a price
I would buy it twice, twice
But if the earth ends in fire
And the seas are frozen in time
There'll be just one survivor
The memory that I was yours
And you were mine

For Thomas, self-realization in the larger story calls for a reinvention of ourselves as participating in our genetic relatedness to Earth, as well as in the material elements of the universe. The challenge that Thomas himself underwent by integrating cultural and evolutionary history became his prophetic call. He called humans back from a hyper-individualism trapped in a use-relationship with an objectified, dead world. The three mediations evident in the cultural historical record inspired him to call for a communion experience with the Earth community as continuing the emergence of the universe.

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.

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

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.
With Fall upon us, I find myself having a mean case of the yesteryears. Knowing that I could swing multiple dead cats around in 360 degree circles, figure eights, and whatever else one could muster, without hitting a single thing that I could get down with is truly a sad realization.
But, this allows us to focus on this shot from 2010. CP 490 walks out of North Minneapolis, passing the governing signal off the Camden Line, as it makes way towards Shoreham before hopping onto the BNSF Saint Paul Sub for its final leg down to Saint Paul.

Moved a large rock near a retaining wall in my yard the other day. I was horrified to discover baby snakes had been taking refuge beneath the stone. Put me in mind of a Medusa head of tangled, writhing snake bodies which compounded my shock and anxiety. Snakes and I go way back, all the way to my childhood when I discovered one in the back yard while playing. Scared me to death then and truly marked a turning point because the old backyard never felt completely safe or carefree ever again. Like the JFK assassination or the Titanic sinking in terms of my childhood innocence. The impact was profound and immediate, not something that took therapy to uncover. I still remember lying awake in bed that night wondering how and when I would encounter my next snake. Even to this day, decades later, I still freak out when I see one. Thing is about snakes, there is almost never any advance notice of their presence. Your first awareness of their proximity is when they are suddenly underfoot. Distance always implies a degree of safety, and with snakes you simply don't get that.
This is completely irrational, and my fear is completely out of proportion with the level of lethality for snakes in Northern Ohio. Makes no difference. Irrational fears are no less real to their owner. I love when people try to 'talk me down' by explaining how harmless most snakes are, or worse yet, handling one in my presence. My fear was born in childhood, and it simply cannot be reasoned with.
Back to the baby snakes, the scene was horrifying, yet not nearly as bad as it would have been with adult snakes. Could have to do with the cuteness we associate with baby anything. Even baby rats or opossums. Oh wait, not opossums, but you get my meaning here.
The snakes were on my mind as I entered the edge of this expansive field of corn. Barely a foot tall, it seemed somehow approachable even though it was disconcerting to see it racing all the way back to the horizon. But the corn is growing fast, sometimes inches per day. And as it reaches full size, it becomes decidedly unapproachable. Giant stalks, rustling in the wind, concealing God knows what. My imagination gets the best of me. I will go right up to the edge of the cornfield, but won't dare take one step inside. But in this moment, it reminded me of the baby snakes.
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.

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.

"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"
It doesn't take long to really come to the realization that they are only going to be this young once, and these are moments you'll never get back. I have to try to use this time wisely.

"Self-observation brings man to the realization of the necessity of self-change. And in observing himself a man notices that self-observation itself brings about certain changes in his inner processes. He begins to understand that self-observation is an instrument of self-change, a means of awakening."
Gurdjieff, G.I.
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."

Meditatión en la Nacional Galeria en Londres
La Meditación trascendental es la forma más pura, más simple y más eficaz de meditación que existe. Es la técnica pura de trascender - de situarse en el estado más poderoso, más simple, de la conciencia - libre de cualquier control mental o proceso de pensamiento.
La Meditación Trascendental permite que nuestra mente se asiente en el interior, más allá del pensamiento, en el nivel más silencioso y tranquilo de la conciencia – nuestro yo más profundo.
Las técnicas de meditación
Cientos de estudios de investigación demuestran que la meditación trascendental produce una serie de beneficios que no se dan en otras técnicas. Los estudios comparativos demuestran que la MT es la técnica más eficaz para reducir el estrés y la ansiedad, ganar calma interior, normalizar la presión arterial y promover la auto-realización.

Transcendental Meditation in the National Gallery of London
it is the purest, simplest and most effective form of meditation that exists. It is the pure technique of transcending - of placing yourself in the most powerful, simplest state of consciousness - free from any mind control or thought process.
Transcendental Meditation allows our mind to settle within, beyond thought, at the quietest and calmest level of consciousness - our deepest self.
Meditation techniques
Hundreds of research studies show that transcendental meditation produces a number of benefits that are not found in other techniques. Comparative studies show that TM is the most effective technique for reducing stress and anxiety, gaining inner calm, normalizing blood pressure and promoting self-realization.

always remember - † Forever Lasts The Longest †
if you believe in me i will love you endlessly
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.
