Wildlife

The Drool

it was a gift to watch the snow monkeys in the hot springs, warming up, drinking, drooling. I waited a very long time for this fine large male to turn fully towards me.

The hot springs soak

Ponderer

The snow monkeys of Nagano are as close to being human as I have ever seen- wild yet familiar. Their behaviors appear incredibly human. The touch they provide to the young, and grooming. Their aged faces reveal so much of their lived experience - injury, resignation, patience, curiosity, and their behavior reveal a solid social hierarchy.

I feel so much from this monkeys’ expression! Almost as if she is saying ‘oh brother!’ Resignation and questioning at the same time. So human.

Starry Starry Nights

The Western night sky exposes just how small we are on Earth. The Milky Way dazzles and the air glow radiates colors we cannot believe we are seeing. They cannot be real. They are. We are such a tiny participant within this universe.

Iconic New York City

My perspective of NYC is that it is a reflection of the 8 million people moving thru it on any given day. We are a blur, we are plucky New Yorkers, gritty. Ever changing.

No more beautiful architecture than this.

Up above the clouds of NYC this beauty shines on.

Radio City Nights

Radio City never gets old it represents so much over so many decades in the Big Apple.

Radio waves

all the lights we love to see in the city that never sleeps

Grand Central Terminal ceiling

Crazy to think this peek into the galactic is painted backwards. The only celestial body painted correctly is Orion. Vanderbilts, who built Grand Central said it was done that way ‘as if God was looking down into GCT.’

Slot Canyons

Trails of the Wind

Slot canyons of the West are overwhelming to photograph. A gift of nature-of water, wind, sand. How can rock be as fluid as silk. I see roses, stems, blossoms all within these rocky fissures, splits and ruptures. Striated rock faces like liquid. So soft and strong.

Quintessential Lifeguard Stand, Umbrellas and the Flag

Stairs and Escapes

They bring us up, they bring us down, they can save us. they can be artful, they can be dangerous, they can be heavy and strong yet flow like water. Bronze flows, cement hangs overhead offering support to carry us.

ropes, macrame, sunlight, stairs, Greece

Water

Life saving Water, blues, greens, reflective, gently lapping, it feeds us, full of patterns, icy cold. It all exists here.

Pep Ventosa technique in spring!

2500 years and counting - Baobab trees store up to 32,000 gallons in their trunks. Majestic doesn’t get close.

Bower of Sanctuary

the age and strength of this bower of protection humble me. Sanctuary is found here.

Some people just stand out. And Shaz is a standout. Passed by British actor Shaz Duncan Brewster in Central Park when she was in town for the Premiere of Enola Holmes 2. Graciously grabbed a few frames.

Murmuration!!

Catching the air against the blue sky and the beginning of the sunset light as they turned in unison added the punch this shot required.
