"Twice blessed, above and below."

"Remember the two sides of every question."

"And that Joy is always an answer."

The words of her mother always balanced her.

Mists Of Silver Lake
Not so long ago, I stood here on the shore of Silver Lake in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Took a week, got away from the hum of computers, emails and the madding crowd.
Went into nature.
Got up at 5am and beat the sun to the day. More than once.
Hoped for golds, pinks, purples and brilliance, but got mist.
Magic, flirtatious mist though… so all was well.
Had breakfast at the oldest trout fishing retreat in the Eastern Sierras.
Last seats, end of the counter.
People-watched.
Followed whims.
Captured starlight.
Breathed.
Came home. (Reluctantly)
Remembered.
Still do.

I love a slice of color block sunset. The sort where it looks almost abstract - with a character all its own.

Cause, y'know, character is everything.

Breath of Air
Breathe.
Like the reflection of a smooth, wise lake.

Blue Boat, White Sand
She loved how selective her memory was.
It was always a surprise. Like an advent calendar of life.

Tekka
That's what it sounded like, when the rain started to fall.

"TekkaTekkaTekka"... against the trees and the water. Like an unfathomable language of largely misunderstood elements.

Like My Heart Was On Fire
Her heart was so full, her chest couldn't contain it all.

So it opened up and encompassed everything.

Cup Runneth Over
The neat little container she kept for love had become too full.

She had no choice but to let it run over the rim and out into the land, where it became reflected in every set of eyes she met from that point forward.

Lake Tahoe Glow
Sunset: That moment when we wave good-bye to the day, and light bathes us with the soft caress of infinite blessings.

I love that moment.

The Hush
For once, she understood the true light of "Hush".

Unbroken
One morning she was offered an unbroken view of Eternity.
She took it.
Things were never quite the same after that.

The Stillness of Cool
In the quiet of the stillness of cool she not only felt welcome relief from the heat, but also a little hipper than usual.

She smiled. "Cool."

Cairn Reflecting
Cairn thought long and hard as she gazed across the water. Slowly, she came to the conclusion that while the odds weren't all stacked in her favor... she would still come out on top.

She smiled at that realization.

Storm Flower

Crazy Love
It was just the kind of flowery, tumbly, sometimes rocky, always fluid, midsummer sunset crazy kind of love that she would always remember.

Family
Even granite boulders have families, right?
I'm going to imagine it just that way.

The Colors of Convict
The subdued tones
belie the colorful past,
of a high mountain lake named
after convicts.

Daily Grind
I don't know why I named this "Daily Grind"... except that the colors and textures in this scene reminds me of the way coffee smells. How weird is THAT?

Stormy Mood
She was in a mood. She just was. No getting around it, no talking her out of it.

She was beautiful, even then.

Glenorchy Road
The sign at the start of it says: "The Most Beautiful Road in the World".
I now know it's true!

The Clouds Liked Blue Wakatipu Too
"Really? Seriously??" I kept thinking at every bend of the road in New Zealand.
Stunning beauty everywhere.

Like here at Lake Wakatipu, just outside of Queenstown.
And the colors!!
I kept being reminded of Hawaii, Tahiti and many of the similarly adorned-in-blue places I've seen; there is a likeness amongst them in so many ways.

The Lake Wakatipu Blues
Yes, it's really THAT blue!
Of course, it depends somewhat upon the light.

At 50 miles long, this is the largest lake in New Zealand. Feels like it goes on forever! It's also fah-REEZING cold, being fed by glaciers and all; which also accounts for this amazing color.
From THE WATERS
The Big View
Just before sunset was often overlooked, in her estimation.
She often thought of it like a beautiful overture. Not too overbearing, not trying too hard. More like an invitation. One she gratefully accepted.

Last Dance
As the sun bade its final farewell with glorious golden burst, the Mr. & Mrs. thought it the perfect moment for one last dance.

Lady Bowen Had a Great Fall
There really was a Lady Bowen.
She really did have a great falls named after her.
Lucky lass!

Courage
n that moment, she realized that courage was knowing the odds, but sailing on anyway. Radiantly. With panache.

Clearly Glenorchy
When I think of Glenorchy, this is what I imagine.
The red barn. That green tree on the left. The glacier blue lake.
Sometimes simple is simply the best.

On the Road to Mt. Cook
She knew it the minute she laid eyes upon it: this was the place where "Awe" is made.
And then some.

Milford Sound Woke Moody That Morning
Rainy, rainy the night before, Milford Sound woke moody and blue in the morning.

It happened sometimes, and it frankly wished the tourists would quite imagining that every day was sunshine and fairies.

It sent a sand fly to bite one with a camera.

Yeah. That kind of moody.

Glacier Blue
The particular shade of blue that looked good on most everyone. Especially Lake Wakatipu this fine and stormy day.
