• Words are to an experience what a photograph is to the eyes.

  

  I penned this thought several years ago. It underlies another immersive experience almost year ago while I was in Split, Croatia.

• Nature’s Transformative Powers: Water and Ice

  

  Through aiming to tame the wilderness of my experiences, I discover untapped perceptions that open the vistas of my heart and mind. This in turn affects, and effects, my interpretation of life’s happenings, freeing me to see beyond the unseeable, touch the intangible, and appreciate the immensity of transformational powers.

Crashing over rocks shaping all, it mocks. What do you hear? Listen! Watch!…

• Nature’s Lens: Capturing Emotion Through Photography

  

  Near and far or far and near, distant, straight down the middle. Wind-hewn, fine water droplets and clinging icy particles. Atmospheric suspensions, driven, drifting silently.
