Love doesn’t always have to be a shout-from-the-rooftops kind of passion. Sometimes love is simple. Sometimes love is a holy feeling — a quiet moment...
And is those quiet moments in the midst of life that seem to give the rest an extra special meaning.
"Glimmers are those moments in your day that make you feel joy, happiness, peace, or gratitude. Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for glimmers, these tiny moments will appear more and more.” ~Unknown
The highlight of my day was seeing this evening's golden light. It was the glimmer I needed. I have had an overwhelming week - ok, who am I kidding...an overwhelming summer. It really it's much different than any other year. I keep stretching myself way too thin to point that today I am feeling too overwhelmed and anxious.
Please don't feel the need to comment as I have not been able to reciprocate. Posting this to keep up with my photo project, to which I still enjoy but also wish I had more time to enjoy it even more. Someday that will return. In the meantime, I will keep looking for those glimmers and hope you do too.
Have a goodnight! x

Those rare moments when Cedar Waxwings stop for a moment are always spellbinding! Just a couple more shots from the recent afternoon at Stephanie's...
Emil Ferris is one of those humans who you can just sense their utter brilliance. I literally think it's an amazing gift to share the same respiratory space with such an amazing human. I was thrilled to be able to speak to Emil after the Q and A following The Music Box Theater's documentary of Art Spiegelman entitled Disaster is My Muse (This should be available on PBS in the upcoming months according to the director)
I was telling Emil Ferris about this nonfiction book I was reading called Beyond Anxiety by Martha Beck, who speaks about how a creativity cycle can disrupt an anxiety cycle. I think many of us artists in this current political climate are feeling increasingly restless and hopeless. Channeling that into art is a good idea at this time.
In any case, this is a great film and Emil Ferris's My Favorite Thing is Monsters (Book 1 and 2) is absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommended!
In these current times, the monsters are humans who have been given absolute power to enforce their wills and desires on all. Every day is a new horror and destruction of human rights. Some will try to counter this by praying ceaselessly. Others, like myself, will continue to maximize their time on Earth by doing art every spare moment. It is perhaps the only way to cope with the madness of reality and maybe enough of us could create a new world out of the embers left.

Only those who have an eye for it
sees something beautiful and good in every weather,
he finds snow, burning sun, storm
and calm weather beautiful,
likes all seasons and is basically content with it
that things are as they are.

I have always found her beautiful eyes hypnotizing. Sometimes when I realize that she has never actually spoken a single word to me, I'm really surprised and can hardly believe it. We have so much shared experience and shared knowledge. Without a single word.
When the sun hits your face just right and you are overwhelmed with appreciation for the fleeting beauty of nature's transformation.

After spending time with great horned owls and owlets earlier this year, now it's my turn to enjoy watching this cute little pair of burrowing owls! Hope there will be owlets!
I had planned to go and get a shot of the second largest sailing ship in the world that had been in Plymouth Sound for the past few days, however other commitments prevented me from getting a close shot of it.
While I was on location I seen this young couple sharing a special moment.
Those soft and fuzzy sweaters
Too magical to touch
To see her in that negligee
Is really just too much

Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now
Sometimes, all I think about is you
Late nights in the middle of June
Heat waves been fakin' me out
Can't make you happier now
Usually I put somethin' on TV
So we never think about you and me
But today I see our reflections
Clearly in Hollywood, layin' on the screen
You just need a better life than this
You need somethin' I can never give
Fake water all across the road
It's gone now, the night has come, but
Sometimes, all I think about is you
Those were the words of conductor McDowell as he was just a couple miles away. Waiting felt like an eternity at -21c. It wasn't long after he passed that we took cover in the truck yet again.
We thought they would never end!
Remember?
I remember!!!

Those trees again at Lazonby, i couldn't help but stop with all the mist around the River Eden, but it was the sheep wandering around between the trees that i liked the most. Lazonby, Cumbria.
For those of us who live in the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona, we’re used to seeing cobalt blue skies. Lately, our skies have taken on more of an amber hue thanks to lots of smoke in our atmosphere due to the wildfires in Colorado and New Mexico. This is because of the position of a strong ridge of high pressure sitting over the Four Corners region. Air around a high pressure system rotates clockwise, sending the smoke here. Our visibility is even more obscured because we have more moisture in our atmosphere right now due to the "Wet Summer" season with Monsoons. (Arizona has 5 seasons...Spring, a dry and a wet summer, autumn and winter.) Water droplets act as a great surface for smoke particulates to attach to.

My Dad taught a weather course, under the direction of the US Coast Guard for the Oritani Power Squadron in NJ. Instructing new boaters about the dangers to look out for while on the water.
My son was the "Weatherman" everyday on his High School's Morning Announcements. At his Graduation ceremony, the entire football field full of students and guests were chanting his name. (Precipitation shafts from my eyes!!!!!...) He also appeared on the Local CBS TV station's morning weather broadcasts numerous times.
