After spending the entire day hunting fall colors around Big Bear Lake I noticed that the only trees that looked to be at peak were the non-indiginous ones that were purchased and planted. I found this tree along the main drive and it looked to me to be confused and yet glorious in all it's shades of color which were highlighted by the piercing blue of the sky behind. I sat and stared then after a while I felt at peace and understood. Humanity has entered a time of profound change and we are all pushed by necessity and pulled by opportunity.
The push is a growing systems crisis, evident in the breakdown of financial institutions, climate change, resource depletion, unsustainable populations, and more.
The pull is the opportunity to rise to a new level of human maturity, partnership, and freedom. The combined push and pull at a global scale make this truly a time of profound turning and transformation for humanity. These powerful trends are all represented here in this one tree.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great evening everybody!! :)

Deer Lake yesterday, on a break between the rain.
I have over 1,600 photos in my "To Post" folder. Which means, if I didn't shoot any more, I could still post every day for four years, four months, two weeks, and two days without breaking a sweat :)
But that's not going to happen - photography is just too much fun. The archives will have to be patient....

The wind is constantly blowing at the dunes. Each day, the footprints on the dunes are smoothed away. Each day, the dunes are reshaped. It is dusty, but beautiful. 20230618SossusvleiDune.jpg

"Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain."
Henry David Thoreau
While taking an early morning walk today, I spied this leaf at my feet. I promised I'd return and the leaf waited for me. Bliss!
Personally, I really like the transition from autumn to winter. I find a situation particularly nice when winter announces itself earlier than usual and the trees are still wearing their typical autumn dress. Like a hyper transformation.

This lovely creature was flitting around the garden at St. Benedict's Painted Church in Kona, Hawaii. It landed long enough for me to capture this image. The link below shares information about that incredible place. "We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty."

As I come towards the end of my third year in Thailand I have been looking back on my time here and thinking about how much my life has changed. I am more active, sociable, full of energy and generally feel brighter than I have in many years. Every day I enjoy warm sunshine, have a world full of colour, interesting sounds, incredible tastes and smells and experiences that constantly ensure that I live my life on the edge of my comfort zone. I am surrounded by lots of amazing people and have formed some firm friendships that I hope will last me a lifetime. In spite of the global pandemic and all the tragedy and life disruption we have all had to endure I am very thankful for my time here and can honestly say that this experience has taken years off me.
The leap of faith that we took in 2018 certainly paid off! I think these comparative shots from 2017 and 2021 say a thousand words.
Time for a lengthy break from Flickr now as we take our summer holidays but we'll be back for year 4 in August!
