Looking InwardSanta Cruz, California

We have it all. We just have to get quiet enough, look inward... and ask the right questions. When we're ready to hear those answers, all will be made clear. It's all within the nature of life.

This photo closed a story on NBC Nightly News about the awesome Virtual Photo Walks. I love doing them... and did one at Hovenweep National Monument in June 2012. NBC asked if they could use one of my photos in the story... and this was the one they chose. It closed the piece. You can see it here: http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nightly-news/51140559#51140559

Overlooking the Edge of the World Hwy. 1, California Coast

They call it the California coast highway for a reason. It runs smack dab along the coast. There are the obligatory tight curves, the 2000 ft. drops in some places... and pure stunning gorgeousness everywhere. 

It's even beautiful when you have to stop for one way traffic due to the lane closures involved in the construction of a tunnel built so that whole section of road stops washing away and dropping said 2000 feet into the sea. Even then, at a scrungey construction site, the view can make you believe.

Yummy Nights in SienaSiena, Italy

I keep referring to strolling through Siena at night in food terms. It's because on a warm summer night, if just feels so delicious you could eat it up with a spoon!
