Thanks to Garrick Garrick for sparking flower thoughts this morning. Hiking a Yosemite trail off Glacier Pt Road through a burn scar, now alive with fireweed—life surges back stronger. 🔥🌸🏔️ 'Out of the fire comes hope.' Ever walked a post-fire trail? What's blooming for you

My son Joshua playing on the beach. Pure joy for both of us.🌊❤️ “Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” — Robert Brault #FamilyMoments #SimpleJoys #Parenthood #LittleThings

Heading back into the wild today—my mind and body are ready for the rest only the forest can give. 🌲⛰️❄️ “The forest makes your heart gentle. You become one with it… the trees are your lungs, the rivers are your blood.” — Native American proverb#WinterWoods #SnowyForest

Would you stand in a dark field for 4 hours to create this? Is it weird that it makes me happier than almost anything else?

When hiking, the early bird gets the face full of spider webs.

Bryce Canyon teaches one quiet truth: Beauty is born from erosion. The same forces that wear us down can sculpt us into wonder. 🌄🪨🌵 #BryceCanyon #NatureWisdom #MindfulLiving #TimelessTruth

I love Yosemite as it teaches me in its own quiet language. Water simply finds the path of least resistance, polishing stone year after year until what was once rough becomes smooth and open. We too do not have to push or prove. We only have to keep moving gently forward.

Dark silhouettes against bright snow and sky of Mt Hood.🌲🏔️☀️ The trees are made more beautiful by the glow of the Mountain. Some things only reveal their true beauty when seen together. #MtHood #NatureWisdom #Contrast #Silhouettes
