Reminder: beauty can be found in unexpected places... β€οΈ
Exhibit A πββοΈπ·: In a seemingly not-so-photogenic setting, a vivid crimson bird darted into the scene like a firecracker shooting to the sky, creating a bright beautiful display in a space that only moments earlier was bare and bland. π₯
I captured this image while out wildflower stalking this past spring, after complaining about the broken tree and noxious weeds in the background of what was otherwise a beautiful Firewheel field scene. Suddenly, a male Vermillion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus) flashed across the landscape, then perched atop the aforementioned tree remains. I held my breath in disbelief β for many years I had fancied the opportunity to see this bird with my own eyes! And here he was, twenty yards in front of me, perched atop the splintery remains of an old dead tree. ββοΈ In an excited panic, I pressed the shutter button anyway. He dashed and flittered, dove and bolted, back and forth from his newfound perch and the insect lunch-buffet over the field. A less-flamboyant brownish-gray female also joined in on the feeding frenzy for about ten minutes before they both raced away, disappearing up into the twisted branches of a Southern Live Oak tree. π³
And just like that, what I had previously judged harshly as a boring, worthless scene unexpectedly became the setting for quite an exhilarating spectacle! π«

βProbably one of my favourite location that I discovered this year in Switzerland. And now, i make it meaningful to me by celebrating the 3rd death anniversary of my mother. I love to take the time to explore, and remember her for everything that she has taught me over the years. Switzerland offers some of the best places to reflect with yourself. #never_stop_exploring #neverforget #Tourism #Reflection #BodyOfWater #Nature #Cloud #MountainRange #Landscape #Mountain #TranquilScene #ScenicsNature #Tranquility #Travel #Lake #Outdoors #Sky #swiss_landscapes #switzerland_bestpix #switzerland_destinations #switerland #swizerland_landscape #rain_mood #rain_photography #rainbowβ
From last week, mid-deep-freeze in Central Texas. I took a few mini-adventures around the yard while we passed the time in between huddling around a tiny propane heater and waiting for power to come back on. Clearly, ice-glazed things became my muse, forcing me to slow down and take in all of the small details of the freeze, and leaving me with beautiful souvenirs of what was otherwise a terrible experience. Nothing like Mother Nature to keep you humble about basic necessities. Allβs well that ends well. π βοΈ

Does anyone else swing on the mind-bending pendulum of holding two opposing truths at the same time? ...case-in-point: the world feels like a raging dumpster fire right now π, but also, beautiful treasures exist right under our very noses. π« Because danggg this ride feels as disorienting as an out-of-control tilt-a-whirl. π
On the flip side, here is an image I captured a few weeks ago, and I would like to share it with whoever may need it. A big field of golden sunflowers dancing freely in the warm breeze of a summer evening. A calm moment in an upset world; a dose of hope that the sun is still shining behind the clouds. β οΈ
Stay safe, stay healthy, stay hopeful. π
