And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years...

 

I'm not a religious man, but i do have one!

I'm not into politics, but i know something about what had happened lately!

I'm not a conspiracy theory lovers, but i do understand something is happening!

I love God instead of religion.

I love nature and science, instead of politics.

I love humanity instead of conspiracy.

 

Since last year we are struggling, we are keep on fighting each other, we are restless!! #tradewar #hongkongprotest #covid19 #discrimination #racism and now #blacklivesmatter

 

For God sake, we live on the same earth, under the same sky! Wherever you are...I know that you, your country, your people, more or less are affected!

So now, i'm asking you, #leadersoftheworld #politicians #ruleroftheuniverse #kings and #queens #presidents #primeministers and all #powerfulpeople

 

Be United and Make A Decision, for "Who" deserve "What". Make it fast, and let's call it a day...We're all deserved it, to live peacefully together on this beautiful earth.

 

July 23, 2018...A beautiful sunset view, on a lovely evening. I decided to use this pictures, and hopefully you can see it, then realize how much you miss the world. To enjoy sunset with your loved ones, just like on the day when this picture was taken. On a peaceful day, from a hill above Sylvia Resort Komodo, Labuan Bajo.

 

...And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

I thought that this bird had already moved on so am glad to see her.

I still have quite a few photos to go through from our very fun trip to Monument Valley, but I couldn't hold off looking at this one any longer.

 

This was a very special moment for me. I had been battling some very debilitating leg pain for several months and I was really worried I wasn't going to be able to fully experience this bucket list trip. I hadn't touched my camera for a long time. But, this morning I began to feel sooo much better. I'm not sure if it was the camera in my hand or the magic of this amazing place, but from this moment on I was on the mend. Probably the magic

Yes, I was bored yesterday and instead of deleting more, I played on CS3 (I need lessons). This flag pic is from an Osprey cruise last summer.

These photos are for a photojournalism class that I'm taking...the subject was chosen because of her distorted body image.

He came up close to me and blew me a kiss.

Red rock formations in mid-New Mexico

It seems that spring is in the air! The day was definitely beautiful and warm.

I'm in the Napa/Sonoma Counties region of California where the raptors are plentiful - or birds in general.

One of several thousand we saw on Machias Seal Island, off the coast of Maine.

The snow geese gathered for hours with more flying in and taking their place in line, they floated on the water and chatted, perhaps it was their social time to reconnect, and then suddenly everything grew quiet. Then they began taking off, one group at a time, and they filled the sky with flapping wings and screams as they took off for the next spot.

There's no love like Grasshopper Love!

 

We took this in florida, our first stop on our trip south to Bolivia, Peru and Brazil!!! More pics coming soon (depending on how often I can find internet cafes).

Under glass at the Nabokov museum, in the Nabokov family home in St. Petersburg, Russia. These are butterflies actually caught by the writer. The middle butterfly in the bottom row is a Red Admiral (vanessa atalanta), which has quite a role in Pale Fire and also makes a cameo in Pnin.

This guy paid an impromptu visit into my photo shoot and had fun with the antique glass floats. copyright image all rights reserved.

He made explore!

The glass balls are antique Japanese glass floats that were used to keep fishing nets afloat before the 1950's. Every year, when the wind changes direction on the Pacific Ocean, floats that have broken loose from the bottom of the ocean find their way to the shore and are amazingly in great condition. I found the larger float before it hit land and the smaller after it had rested on the beach.

 

I took the floats to Pacific Beach, in Washington State, and was photographing them, and their reflection, in the evening light while my nephew played in the background. This photo has been published in the Official Washington Travel print guide and other publications. I recently had the photo re-edited and am so delighted with the results that I decided to share it again.

Just before the ferns unfurl.

 

Thank you!

Seen in Madidi National Park, in the Bolivian Amazon.

 

This was one of the most thrilling moments of our trip- we saw this jaguarundi swimming and then running through the shallows of the Tuichi River. At first our guides thought that it was a wet Ocelot but once it got out of the water we were able to more accurately identify it. It was a very brief sighting- the animal sprinted straight into the jungle and I only got this one shot, but it was an incredibly thrilling sighting.

 

Jaguarundi exist all through the Americas (as far north as the American Southwest), but are very rare and difficult to see in this part of the Amazon. It was the first time anyone on the boat (including the four guides who have lived their whole lives in the Bolivian Amazon) had ever seen one of these in the wild.

Cropped and auto-contrast - nothing more. Lens flair is natural - not photoshopped (is that a word?)

My boy, Gibson - he usually isn't this patient and the gulls aren't normally so cooperative.

Gibson made explore! I'm so excited!

View large - it is beautiful with the light shining on the trees. But then does anybody really care...

Isabelle exploring the fresh Syracuse snow. It may not have been voluntary.

Pictures can't capture it (especially my pictures). This is perhaps the most amazing place I've ever been to in a lifetime of travel that has taken me to nearly 50 countries. It is amazing to think that people built this with their hands, their tools, and their lives.
