Through My Eyes

02/28/2025

I started this page to spotlight my photography. At the beginning of the year I began travel advisory. So I think I want to rebrand this page to promote both. I hope you enjoy the updates! If you have any travel questions or need help planning a trip please contact me

This morning I took a drive into town to buy fuel since our power is out again and we are on generators. 37 miles of winding roads, no cell service and so much time to think about life. My thoughts lingered around the stress of my surgery, the loss of loved ones, the destruction of the wildfires and trying to live day to day.

As I drove on, my thoughts moved on to the sunsets and rainbows so many love. The saying of never letting the sun set and going to sleep angry. Or the promise by God to never flood the Earth again and reminding us with rainbows of that promise.

As the sun moved higher into the sky, I thought about how ungrateful and unthankful I, and so many more have been, in neglecting sunrises. The sunrise starts every day. Maybe not as romantic as a sunset or colorful as rainbows but just as beautiful in every way.

Our faith teaches us to look to the East for Christ's return...the sunrises in the East. After all the smoke, clouds, destruction, pain and darkness...the sun, still, rises in the East.

I was reminded of my walk with God and all of you this morning. My sunrise may not look like yours, wherever it may be, but it still came up giving us hope for a new day as it will tomorrow and the next.

I was blessed with the thoughts of you all and couldn't wait to get home and share. Keeping my eyes toward the sun I hope this sunrise brings hope to you wherever you may be and whatever circumstance you may be in.

Stay blessed.

Sorry I haven't updated for a while. Between surgery, fires and slow recovery I have had a hard time getting motivated each day consistently.

I was driving to my doctors appointment and I drove past this scene...emergency crews staged for the morning briefing. I didn't appreciate the depth this photo actually had and the impact it had until later when I downloaded it into my dump file.

Every day these men and women get up, get dressed. and face the dragon. In my heart I am still one of them. Physically I will never be again. To have the sun rising instead of falling on this scene is so much hopeful and a reminder of Gods blessings He has bestowed on me and the rising sun still holds my future.

Stay blessed everybody and keep these men and women in your prayers.

One of the things I love about photography is the variety of subject matter you can specialize in. For me it has kept me in touch with the spirituality of nature. In most other types of photography the subject matter can be posed or staged and photographed over and over.

One of the things I love about photography is the variety of subject matter you can specialize in. For me it has kept me in touch with the spirituality of nature.

In most other types of photography the subject matter can be posed or staged and photographed over and over. Nature photography is hit and miss and even if you "seen that one before" realistically you haven't. Nature is always changing and evolving and capturing that captivating shot always feels good and is a one of a kind.

God has blessed me with an eye and tools to record how I see life. I am blessed to be able to share these moments with you.

And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good....

Sometimes you see things differently or something others completely miss. Other times we see things the same way and can relate to what others see. Like this hidden chipmunk in this photo so many passed it and either never seen it or just didn't care. I couldn't resist getting a quick photo. I encourage my friends to slow down, get out of the rat race (no offense to the chipmunk) and start enjoying the smaller things in the world....

Safety and security has been my life. Serving my country, community and my church has been the greatest blessing ever bestowed upon me. I have met many great people over my lifetime that have influenced me in many ways. I am greatful of every moment of everyday I get to enjoy God's country and photograph it in my way. I have had the blessing to share some of my work with owners and co-workers and to see them smile and enjoy my pictures is everything to me. I hope you enjoy my blog and you can enjoy it as much as I do. I promise to try and keep it interesting.
