surroundings, you're the type of person who

jokes at social gatherings - after all,
laughter is the best medicine. Sometimes you
pretend to be stupid, but in all actuality, you

This stand of burnt trees actually represents new life. Redwood seeds need three things to germinate: rich fertile soil, water, and fire. The fire clears the underbrush of the forest floor and gives new redwoods room to sprout and grow. This fact of nature is also true with our own lives. Sometimes we need to clear away the old underbrush of our lives that is keeping us from growing. This allows us to start our lives new and fresh, and to grow.

I hope that you have a wonderful weekend.

I often ask myself, why do many people see raining days as a negative thing? The rain revitalizes the world around us and helps it to grow. We all need the water that the rains bring to us. Instead of complaining about the rainy day and looking at it negatively we should look at all the positive things that it brings to us. This positive outlook can also be carried over into other areas of our lives. We are quick to complain about lots of things. If we just realized that everything around us has positive aspects also then we would be a lot happier.

I hope that you have a great weekend.

Many people struggle against the current of the river of life. What they don’t realize is that if they just relax and flow with the current things will be much easier. Yes, the river of life may flow though some rough waters or around a bend that you didn’t expect, but I still think flowing with the river instead of struggling against it is a lot easier in the long run. I hope that you have a great weekend.

Many times we humans envy birds for that ability to take to the sky and fly above it all. Sometimes our lives become so difficult that we wish that we could just fly away. What we have to remember is birds fly because that is what they do naturally, and we have our own natural ways of dealing with life’s difficulties. I hope that you have a great weekend.

Our lives are like trees in many ways. Everything that we are springs forth from our trunk. The branches are the different paths that we take and experiences that we have in our lives. As long as we have strong roots, the branches of our lives will eventually sprout leaves that will give us chlorophyll to nourish our soul.

Sometimes we forget to appreciate our environment and the people around us. We need to spend time noticing and appreciating everything that we see. We can find something positive in every person, every situation, and every environment if we have an open mind, open heart, and open eyes. I hope that you have a great weekend.

Most of the time, our lives require us to “do” so much. So sometimes, it is good to just sit and do nothing as you watch the beauty of this world as it surrounds you and gives you a big worldly hug. I hope that you have a great weekend.

The Native Americans even used the rock formations to teach lessons. This rock formation was called the Tower of Silence. At a certain age the braves would climb up to the top of the tower and just listen to the sounds around them. The lesson here is that when we listen to our inner silence, all sounds become beautiful.
I hope that you have a great weekend.

At one time in my life I was afraid of heights. As youcan see from this photo, I have faced that fear several times. Courage does not mean being fearless. I means being able to face your fear.

I hope that you have a great fear-free weekend.

Thanksgiving will soon be upon us, and I thought that this week I would focus my thought on something that I am grateful for. I feel grateful for this gift that is my life, and I give thanks for all the beautiful places that I have seen and had the opportunity to photograph. I hope that you have a great holiday weekend.

Many people use there precious resources building watch towers. Then they man their watch tower and keep watch for something bad to happen in there lives. I say that instead of manning our watch towers and waiting for something bad to happen, we should use our resources to go out into the world and make something good happen. I hope that you have a great weekend.

When I visit very old structures like this, I can not help but be taken aback. I often wonder how people at that time in history could have conceived building such a structure before there were even machines to help them accomplish the feat. I guess that W. Clemet Stone was right when he said: “What the mind of man can conceive, and believe, it can achieve.” I hope that you have a great weekend.

As I traveled through the deserts of the American southwest, I was amazed at how much vegetation was growing there. I was especially captivated by all of the oddly shaped trees. I was amazed at the fact that some of these trees looked dead, but would spring forth with new life when the first rains fell upon them. Trees in general are some of the most resilient living things on the planet. Many Great thinkers have compared people to trees. When the storms of life come, some of us are like the willow. We sway with the winds, but we do not break. Others are like the mighty oak. We stand strong against the storms of our lives despite losing some of our branches in the process. Which tree are you? I hope that you all have a great storm free weekend.

I take many photos of subjects that others might find to be faulted. These photos of lava rock are a prime example. I am able to look past the faults and see the beauty in these things. I think that too often the first thing that we see about another person is their faults. I think that if we are able to accept the faults as part of the person then we will be able to see the person’s true beauty.
I hope that you have a great weekend.

It’s that time of year again. The Canadian Geese have started their migration south to warmer climates. As the geese travel southward to Mexico, they stop off to rest near one the many bodies of water in the bay area. These birds seem to have a natural radar that points them towards their destination. I think some of us at one time or another have wished that we had something inside of us that would make it easier to find our way in life. We may not have the natural radar of the goose, but somehow we still find our way through the pitfalls of our lives, and many of us even reach that “warmer destination “. I hope that you have a great weekend.

I think that one of the reasons that I like nature photography so much, is because there are so many lessons that we can learn from observing nature. Diligence is one thing that some of us may lack from time to time (me included).

I think that we can all learn from watching this little spider. It takes hours to build the web, but the spider continues building until it is completed. Then after the web is built the spider might sit in the middle of this web for days waiting for it to catch prey. Yes, some of you may say that the spider is scary, but if you can look past your fears, there is a lot that you can learn.

I hope that you have a great weekend.

As I look at the stories depicted by these 500 year old works of Native American art, a few thoughts occur to me. What kind of mark are we leaving on this world for future generations to find? Will they find us interesting? Will our “marks” stand the test of time? Only Time will tell.

I hope that you have a great weekend.

This week's thought came to me in a fortune cookie, and it reminded me that no matter how big a goal may seem, the road to obtaining that goal starts with just a little effort. The fortune cookie said:

"The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones."

I hope that you have a great long weekend.

As you wander though your daily life do you sometimes look at the things in your environment and see them in a totally different way than the people around you are seeing them? If you do, then you have what I call “The Gift of Alternate Perception”. Take a look at the attached photos and see if you can understand what alternate perception inspired them.

As you do whatever it is that you do this weekend, I hope that your eyes will be open to new perceptive possibilities.
