Hyde Park never disappoints. On my springtime trip to London, it offered flowers, stillness, and—just outside its gates—a perfectly iconic London moment.

I’d stayed in London’s Holland Park neighborhood for years without ever exploring the actual park. That changed on our 15th anniversary trip—and what a discovery! With a Japanese garden, hydrangeas, a strolling statue, and a showy peacock, Holland Park became one of the most surprising and joyful highlights of our journey.

A serene retreat at Little House in the Rockies (away from Houston’s oppressive heat) brings stunning mountain views, R&R, and time for creativity in the kitchen.

I’ve probably been to Aberdeen a dozen times in the last eight years, for work and for pleasure. Work first, and then pleasure once I was enchanted by the city’s charms. Here’s a smattering of photos selected only for the light… I have so many more, and so many more stories to share… but that’s for another time.

Seagulls’ simplicity and single-mindedness lays bare the basic necessities of their lives, their groundhog day existence: eat, mingle, survive, forage, fly together, chase shrimp boats, sleep, make raucous noises—and repeat.

We’re finally back at Little House in the Rockies, taking some vacation time to enjoy the gorgeous fall weather at our little cabin in central Colorado.

Newcastle has forever been a bustling hub of commerce and its bridges are an important part of its dynamic personality.

I spent about ten minutes photographing our Inverness seagull, who I named Nessie (wouldn’t you?), and this was truly a microjoy.

Join me on a brisk walk through the harborside in Oslo, Norway.

A bench is an invitation to become one with it for a while, to sit and be still in your surroundings, and let nature and the world flow around you.

These images are from a photo safari I undertook this week in Jefferson, Colorado, in between intense empathy and hand-wringing.

Grab a cup of coffee and I’ll walk you through a couple of happy hours I spent with my camera on Easter afternoon at the Tarryall Reservoir State Wildlife Area.

Let’s step back in time, to a weekday in April of 2017, and together experience my lunch and subsequent walk to one of our offices in the outskirts of Paris.

If ever there was a movie in which the nature setting plays a significant role, has a character of its own, From Here to Eternity is it.

The backstory for this (hopefully) enigmatic haiku is a tale of a search through my photo library.

A solo trip to a botanical garden was a tonic in troubled times and the inspiration for a poem.

I had a really good day on April 1, 2017. It’s hard to believe it was just 3 years ago. It seems like a really different world today as the whole human race grapples with the coronavirus.

The story this picture tells is the relentless march of “progress” and how we continue to eradicate nature in favor of more and more and more and MORE cement and “convenience”.

My lost loved ones were in this sky, whispering a gossamer goodbye.
