You see it in stores, in houses, in coffee shops and restaurants. It's on billboards, webpages, tablets, and smartphones. It's on the minds and lips of everyone: The Olympics. Every 4 years the world comes together to showcase the best physical specimens they have to offer. People invest time, effort and energy into watching their …

Hawkman half way round the world..
A few months ago, I had a great trip across the water to parts of Asia. Ever since I got back, I haven't been able to let it go... It's like I'm being called back there for some reason. While I was there, I did get some nice pics with my friend, the hawkman. Now, …
Trekking the Volcano: Hiking Sibley Volcanic Preserve
This post was originally written in October 2011, but never published. The roots of the trees formed steps into the heavily wooded area known as Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve. I had been looking forward to coming here, having passed it the last time I was in the area looking for somewhere to hike. I knew …

Starting the Year in Nature…
This year I decided it was time to upgrade my camera. Found a great deal on a Canon Rebel, and am suffering no buyer's remorse (ok, maybe a little). I'm actually pretty excited - not that my other camera was no good, but this one is much better. I didn't get the opportunity to celebrate …

Looking forward to meeting new people, having new experiences, and learning more about me in the process. Most likely I will be offline for a few …
Rocking at 40,000ft…
I hate turbulence. "no duh", right? No, I really, really hate turbulence. My stress level shoots through the roof just at the thought of it. It is the most unnerving thing I have ever experienced. Coming back from my business trip to Florida a couple days ago, we had what pilots would call some mild …
Hiking in the Huckleberries
Today I felt out of sorts. Not sure why, but I felt like I needed to get out and experience nature. The question was, where to go? I did a quick check of the East Bay Regional Parks, and chose the Huckleberry Botanical Regional Preserve. I could have chosen anywhere, but the little I read …
Vegas, the land of dreams
I finally has a brief spot of downtime waiting for the shuttle to whisk me away from the Red Rock resort in Las Vegas to the airport. While I continued to knock out some emails, I decided to do one of my favorite things: people-watch. I looked at people at the slot machines, focused on …
1 Pic = 1K Words…
That's what they say, anyway. For a wordsmith, however I begin to wonder. I think that pictures prompt a thousand words. I see stories in every picture, emotion in every image, expression in each icon. In any case, I had the off-opportunity to take some pictures of nature today. Each tells its own story, and …
