I enjoy watching waves crashing on the shore. It always feels like an example of nature’s strength to transform the sky, reshape the land or shake the world.

It is always a joy to see butterflies while walking around.

Every day is a celebration of life and beauty. I am grateful for every sight I’ve captured on the walks and hikes I’ve taken over the years. Although I wanted to release the second book of Zarate Zen last year, a few delays pushed it out further and further. Once released, I watched the notifications as Amazon kept it on review, prepared it for release and now, made it available. (Yay!) I want to thank everyone who has encouraged me to share my posts and to combine my two favorite passions: Writing and Photography. Thank you! We must believe in our own unique path. Every journey requires trust in the life choices we make, the deep passions we follow and the ultimate dreams we turn into a reality for ourselves and the world. Onwards! +

Rain comes and goes throughout the year, but the moments we get to capture can last a lifetime.

Capturing images in nature is a joy. When I see birds, I think about the freedom to fly and travel the world without limitations. Just like in nature, we have abilities that develop over time as we build our passions, add to our strengths, and make a daily path forward to create our best life. We must embrace our unique qualities and talents. Each of us are one-of-a-kind, with a special blend of talents, skills and experiences that help us reach our goals, follow our dreams, and claim our victories. Onwards! +
