🎶 “It’s gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiny day...” 🎶🌻☀️ #TGIF
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 🙈, but also, beautiful treasures exist right under our very noses. 💫 Because danggg this ride feels as disorienting as an out-of-control tilt-a-whirl. 😅
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. ⛅️
Stay safe, stay healthy, stay hopeful. 💛

“Probably 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 #rainbow”
Happy Pollinator Week! 🐝
Fourteen years ago (2007), in an effort to address the urgent issue of declining pollinator populations, the U.S. Senate unanimously designated one week in June to pollinators. This week is a time to celebrate pollinators and spread the word about what humans can do to help protect them. 🌼
Why does this matter? How does this even effect us? Well, for one, there are more than 200,000 species of pollinators worldwide. And, more than 75% of flowering plant species need the help of pollinators in order to fertilize. Over 1,000 plants worldwide are grown specifically for human consumption (food, beverages, spices, medicine, etc), and guess what?! They all need to be pollinated in order to make the resources on which we depend. So, in short, without pollinators we would not have a lot of the things that we rely on every single day. 🌸
Captured here is a monarch butterfly nectaring a red clover flower. Spotted in Upstate NY, August 2015.
For more information about pollinators and ways you can help, check out The Pollinator Partnership. Consider giving a donation, or planting a few native flowering plants in your yard, or even just educating yourself about the pollinators in your neighborhood. A little bit goes a long way. 💫

Days passed and it didn't look like the weather was getting better. A friend on the road came with news "Looks like tomorrow's the sun is coming out". We couldn't believe what we heard... I woke up at 3 AM in the morning to check the forecast.. It looked... "promising"? Little snowflakes where falling and it was cold AF. Decided to take the risk, woke up everyone who wanted to go for it and started the walk from Laguna Capri to the base of the Mountain. The goal was to get the sunrise from above. Cloudy conditions made it difficult to get the shot, though it left everything in a perfect state. Clean air and beautiful clouds. After a long walk back, I couldn't stop starring at this massive chunk of rock coming out of the horizon. It was my second time on the National Park, and I knew some cool viewpoints of the complex. Kept thinking about this place in particular.
I believe this one is one of the most soothing places to gaze at this imposing sage, who has more than one thing to teach you. Of course, it depends on our perspective on what we receive as a teaching, and finally, it's just us listening to our essence.
I hope everyone can meet this giant at least once in their life. Please feel free to send me any messages asking for information about this place or other places in Chile! Id love to help you! Cheers!
One of the last opportunities for me this year to get out for an astro shoot. This time with an enthusiastic bunch from Greymouth Photography Club and pretty much perfect conditions :)

Ohh, to be a fat happy seal on the beach enjoying life at my own pace... 😂

📷 Photo captures a solo female Northern Elephant Seal (Mirounga angustirostris) basking in the hazy sunlight on a central Californian beach. The remainder of the rookery was clustered a few hundred yards up the beach. A handful of very large adult males flipped dry sand onto their backs while about a dozen very active juveniles were in the surf, doing what juvenile creatures do best: playing, fighting, yelling, splashing — basically running amuck. It’s no wonder this little lady chose to inchworm her way beyond the masses for some good ol’ fashioned “me-time”. Friends of the Elephant Seal, San Simeon, CA; Sept 2017. 🌊🐘

“I must have flowers always, and always.” — Claude Monet #ToujoursEtToujours 💐

📷 Photo captures a rainbow palette of Texas springtime wildflowers, with a bright red Indian Paintbrush (Castilleja coccinea) at the front and center. There’s no denying the fact that Bluebonnets get most of the attention, and rightfully so, but I think these fluorescent Paintbrushes may be my personal favorite. (Subject to change, because I’m terrible at making firm decisions #LibraProblems)

With temperatures dancing around the freeze mark & light fog lifting at the sun's warm touch, this secluded hilltop pond was the perfect place to catch the first light of day -- the perfect place to stand in awe of Mother Nature's extravagant Autumn display. To witness this gorgeous show up here in the northeastern corner of the U.S., is truly a special experience! | Macedonia Brook State Park, CT
