Skywatch
This is the soul-warming view from the office today – the office this week being a hotel in Key Biscayne. It’s the last day of my work here in Florida before heading home to Oklahoma and I finally found a few minutes away from it to capture one of these magnificent sunrises that occur [...]

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
The magic of Yellowstone is endless and unceasing. And the parable of the early bird could not be more fitting as this 5:15 am wake-up call proved to be worth its weight in….gold and worms. I’ll never forget this morning, sitting on the rocky shore of the lake, the steam rising, wolves [...]

Sky Watch
It’s just past the midnight hour and likewise bewitched I arise from a deep sleep to find that outside there still remains an overwhelming blanket of blackness that obscures the thin line of horizon between the sea and the sky.
