Touch The Clouds

Life is like a trampoline. To get higher you have to learn to fall and bounce back up, for the first jump is never the best.

Those that live their life refusing to make that fall will never reach as high as they possibly can. Denying your wrongs, your falling moments, only denies the moments when you can touch the clouds ...

Abstract Reflections in Glass, Tucson, Arizona

New work posted yesterday:

A buildings' horizontal and vertical lines and reflective glass facade appear ideal subjects for photography, a medium that is nothing but an exact recorder of distinct volumes in space.

The glass facades of buildings represents not only the interface between interior and exterior. They are also subtle puzzles, mingling with the reflections of their neighbors in reality. This process of visual concentration creates a more intense impression of reality than the direct perception of the real objects would allow. They lend the building poetic quality that fires the imagination.

Spring is in the air

Feels like spring! The sun, although still a bit rusty, is definitely brighter and stronger now and the thermometer is rising.

Nature comes alive with vibrancy. There is something sacred about spring's energy. Spring means new beginnings and new hope.

It's time to color Easter eggs, create Easter cards and other goodies.
Yes, there's spring in the air .... What more could we ask for?

Desert Spring


Desert Spring
Desert Spring


Desert sand verbena begins spreading across the desert.
This brilliant pink,violet or purple fragrant (at nighttime) flowers bloom between February and July following rains. The flower clusters are about the size of a golf ball, and the silver-gray foliage adds to the dramatic effect of this beautiful plant.

2010 will be an excellent blooming season for desert wildflowers after this winter's rains wet the soil.

Taos, NM Indian Pueblo Cemetery


Taos, New Mexico, Indian Pueblo Cemetery
Taos, New Mexico - Indian Pueblo Cemetery


Taos is a city in New Mexico, about one hour northeast of Santa Fe. One of its highlights is the Taos Pueblo, a Native American reservation and World Heritage site.

One of most interesting parts in the Taos Pueblo is their cemetery. The old bell tower of the old Mission Church of San Geronimo de Taos (1619) still stands, watching over the headstones in this cemetery.

It is a special place, and I encourage you to visit it,

Funny Critters

Unique, unusual, goofy and just plain wacky sculptures like this little bug are a big attraction in Timnath, Colorado. These whimsicals in Bill Swet's Swetsville Zoo are much more than just sculptures - art made from recycled scrap metal. They are the entrance to the imaginary, limitless, world of Alice's Wonderland.

Lush Aspen Forest

Aspen trees, with bright leaves that tremble and whisper in the slightest wind, are a beautiful and interesting arboreal species, and the white bark on the long narrow trunk makes this Poplar tree a pleasing sight all year round.

ct-graphics - Quarai, New Mexico stock photos - Quarai, NM professional photography - Photo: infrared false color: "Quarai Salinas Pueblo Mission, New Mexico"



The largest stone - as opposed to adobe - mission church in New Mexico is Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception of Cuarac, now called Quarai (Nuestra Senora de la Purisima Concepcion de Cuarac). This Catholic Church north of Mountainair, NM was built in 1629 on an already existing Tiwa Indian pueblo. In 1632 Quarai became the seat of the Inquisition in New Mexico.

In 1678 the inhabitants abandoned the site due to Apache attacks and lack of water. The church was left unfinished. Today the ruins of Quarai and three more Salinas Pueblo Missions are a National Monument.

Point Pinos Lighthouse, California

ct-graphics - Point Pinos Lighthouse 2949 stock photos - Point Pinos Lighthouse 2949 photo objects - Point Pinos Lighthouse 2949 professional photography: "Point Pinos Lighthouse Light"

Point Pinos Lighthouse, California
Point Pinos Lighthouse, CA, in fog


Point Pinos Light, on the Pacific coast of California. was built in 1855 to guide ships through the dangerous southern entrance of the Monterey Bay. The name Punta de los Pinos translated to “Point of the Pines”, is an appropriate designation for the thickly wooded northern tip of the Monterey Peninsula where the pines grew almost to the water’s edge.

Often spelled Point Piños, Point Pinos Lighthouse is the oldest continuously-operating lightstation on the West Coast of the United States. Even the lens is original. Its first lightkeeper, Charles Layton, was killed in 1856 while serving as a member of the sheriff’s posse chasing the notorious outlaw, Anastacio Garcia.

In early Pacific Grove days Point Pinos Lighthouse was more than an aid to navigation; it was a social hub. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote of visiting lightkeeper Allen Luce in 1879 in The Old Pacific Capital, and Mrs. Emily Fish, Point Pinos’s most famous lightkeeper, was nicknamed “The Socialite Lightkeeper” for the many parties and dinners she held at the building.
