Friday Photo: Taking Time for Stillness
Inspired by this quote for the weekend:
“In order to get from what was to what will be, you must go through what is.” – Anonymous
Which means taking time for stillness and simple pleasures.

Take the time to look up, you never know what simple beauties you are missing.
Friday Photo: Ebb and Flow
Stormy water hits a calm beach.
Nature is about balance; the coming and going, the ebb and flow.
This got me thinking about the ebb and flow of opportunities for risk that come and go every single day.
Every. Single. Day.
We are inundated with opportunities. The question is what we do with them.
It’s this simple: If I never try anything, I never learn anything. If I never take a risk, I stay where I am. If I go ahead and do it, that affects how much I continue wanting to do it. When I hold myself back, I trade appearances for the opportunity to find out what I am like. – Hugh Prather

The beauty of Oregon is salt air one day and snowflakes on a cross country ski trail the next.

Colors this vivid always amaze me.

Friday Photo: Blue Lake
Spent three days of unconnected bliss out in Indian Heaven Wilderness last weekend, camping by the aptly named Blue Lake. There’s a reason that Henry David Thoreau said, “In wilderness is the preservation of the world.” In the backcountry things are still and simple. Just what the overly multi-tasked brain needs.
Friday Photo: Summer Greenery
Early morning on a trail in the high desert. Sun shining through the tree branches. Trail is quiet and dust has yet to fill the air. Sounds of waterfall in the background. Perfect day ahead.
Friday Photo: Botanical Forms
During a recent trip to the Bay Area, I spent a beautiful afternoon in the San Francisco Botanical Gardens. I love this space smack dab in the middle of Golden Gate Park, with so many intricate natural forms and lines to be found. The swirl on this plant stuck out in the afternoon sunlight.
