Sometimes a place can surprise you. I grew up in Texas. Lets just say, spending my youth in the suburbs of a big city like Houston didn't exactly ignite my love for nature. My daily routine was mostly spent in an average neighborhood with more strip malls and sidewalks than hiking trails or scenic vistas. On top of that, the nearest mountain had to be a thousand miles away I am guessing. So when I was 18, I went to college in California and fell in love with all the variety that Nature had to offer there. Fast forward 25...
Have you ever been to a place that really touches your soul? The certain smell in the air, the views passing by your window on the train, bus or car as you make your journey to your destination. All familiar but also completely new? You feel so alive in that moment that you want to hold onto it forever. You never know where or when, but some special places become a part of you and their memory, embedded in your soul.This trip to the Camargue was one of those trips. I had been to France before, I fell in love...
Have you ever done something that was a bit out of your comfort zone? I find that I feel most alive when I am pushing boundaries, learning something new and seeing new sights! This trip to the high sierras pushed me in every way.
The first thing that caught my attention, when visiting the Hawaiian Islands, was the frequency of Rainbows. Incredibly vibrant colors arcing across a blue tropical sky. After 6 years of living here on Kauai, my understanding of how, when and where a Rainbow stands the best chance breaking out, has grown expeditiously. The challenge now is no longer the when or where but the how. How will the brilliant colors of the Rainbow blend with the scene I have positioned myself the capture. The moment it all comes together, is nothing short of a miracle... :))
