There are times where we have no answers or patterns to follow or make sense of what is happening. This seems so disconcerting, but it also allows for growth, imagination, and the potential for anything to happen. We must stop asking, what should be happening and start asking what could exist if we only tried.

Occasionally, I dedicate a photo I have captured to a person that I love or respect. I’m planning on doing this more with sunsets, landscapes and other photos from nature of unique and beautiful moments. I find these moments beautiful just like the person who is brought to my mind when taking the photo or reflecting on it.

This photo reminds me of my friend Kristi Seaton. She is the water reflecting those brilliant colors. Her love for humanity serves as an example for all. She loyally reflects compassion to our eyes by her actions and words, not in a pious way that demands attention, but by adding to the beauty of the entire landscape with soft yet powerful grace.

This one took my breath away. I was worried I would never be able to capture its beauty, and while this photo is far less spectacular than what I witnessed, it serves as a reminder of how I felt when I saw it.

🖼️📸 Photo of the Day! I took several nice pictures of this fearless little fella a couple years ago. He allowed my camera lens to get just inches from him. Hummingbirds are so beautiful and brave. 🕊️🐦

I guess that’s why we should try to enjoy the beauty of the moment and not get caught up in our minds. We never know what tomorrow will bring, so just enjoy the now.
