Mountains

Giant

“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.” - Rumi On the coast of Northern Ireland, the Giant's Causeway spills into the sea.

Back Country

"The world is a mountain. Whatever you say, it will echo back to you." - Rumi

Pinwheel

"I smile like a flower not only with my lips but with my whole being." Moraine Lake in Banff National Park

To the Mountain

The goal is clear. The path...is for each of us to figure out. Some are more direct than others. Mt. Diablo in the distance.

Guardians

There are silent ones that watch over us. Banff National Park

Early

Woke at 1:45am to climb Mt. Batur in Bali. This view of Mt. Agung was the reward. A few months later it was erupting, putting an end to it's gentle slumber.

Colorado Gold

As Above, So Below

"As you live deeper in the heart, the mirror gets clearer and clearer" - Rumi Mt. Rundle in Banff National Park. The mosquitoes here were not my friends!

Half Dome Spinner

Nearly every star emerges over Yosemite Valley. Each light a flame that ignites wonder at our infinite nature.

Sublime

Nature is the master craftsman. Once we see her beauty, her wild places, we are changed forever. Moraine Lake - Banff

Silent Paddle

If you find the mirror of the heart dull, the rust has not been cleared from its face" - Rumi Two Jacks Lake in Banff National Park, with Mt. Rundle in reflection.

Cotopaxi

The "neck of the moon", peaceful for now, but full of questions. Resting deeply in the heart of Ecuador.

Final Glow

"I am neither the East or the West, no boundaries exist within my breast" - Rumi Two Jacks Lake - Banff National Park

Eruption

“Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth.” - Rumi

Just One

Gold in the Hills

Firefall

For a few days each year the sunset lights up Horsetail Falls in Yosemite. Conditions have to be just perfect...direct sunlight, enough snow to create the waterfall, and the right temperatures to keep the water flowing. I was grateful just to be there in this moment.

Cupped

"I hold you in my hand just to look, just to savor the moment, not knowing where you'll be tomorrow. Peyto Lake - Banff National Park

Sunlight on My Shoulders

"A mountain keeps an echo deep inside. That's how I hold your voice" - Rumi

Clearly

Reflection of El Capitan in Yosemite

Oh Captain My Captain

If you overcome others you are powerful. If you overcome yourself you have strength. - Lao Tzu The strength of El Capitan forms the foundation of this beautiful valley, as trees glow with the first light.

Rising

"Oh, bird of my soul, fly away now, For I possess a hundred fortified towers." - Rumi Bow Lake - Banff National Park

Settle

A river of clouds light up from the early sun below the volcanic peaks of Mt. Batur in Bali.

Gold

"Every soul becomes gold when touched by the Beloved." - Rumi Through the fields in Ireland

Yosemite Valley

Cathedral Silent

Early morning in Yosemite Valley among the cathedrals.
