Traveling through Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville is a journey to a foreign land: historic, opulent, monumental, serene, sacred. Cave Hill is an enchanted land of hills and ponds within one of America’s greatest neighborhoods–The Highlands. As one travels its winding pathways, there is no end to a remarkable diversity of graveyard architecture and introductions…

I’d Like You All to Meet Kiara…
Kiara is the wonderfully undead dog written about in my post two days prior, Resurrected! I shot these this morning during my run to share… Kiara: Thank you so much for resurrecting! I love you.
Portal
When a portal opens, do you run the other way—or pass through, into the unknown?
Resurrected!
Have you ever longed for an old friend who died? Praying he or she would come back even for just one more hug. One final moment together. One of the best things ever happened during my run an hour ago… A ferocious looking farm dog named Kiara who is actually one of the nicest dogs…
In the Blood
Regardless of my travails, I’m home. While down in a hole, the fragrance of freshly mowed grass reminds me I’m still alive. John Deeres drive by as I swing on the front porch, leaning to touch the log home. Rabbits run the field where horses eat as cows swim in their pond. Geese eat alongside…
“He’s the Best Cat We’ve Ever Had. “
—-at least 2 groomers, including Nicole herself, at Nicole’s Grooming. Today, in Bardstown, Kentucky. I am so very proud of my son! He has not been letting me clip his nails these past few weeks, so I had to bring him in to a groomer for the first time in his 9 years, but I’m…
What the F–k is Wrong With Me?!
My boy Charlie was right— Not this Charlie… these are the best of times and worst of times. Yes, as many of you all know, I had an amazing expedition to and through Asia this summer. As many of you may not know, I even got to embrace and kiss beautiful women in Thailand &…

Curated Photo IX
The penultimate picture in the series… Even at 35,000 feet, the mountains looked close enough to touch. This is the same range seen by night in yesterday’s post, Curated Photo VIII. Flying over Canada, nearly at the Alaskan border, I was stunned by this view. Reflecting later, I realized how so many of us take…
Curated Photo VIII
Number 8 in the series… Gates of Heaven At 37,000 feet, we soared over mountain peaks in the Kluane National Park & Reserve of Canada. I stayed up all night taking shots of an absolutely surreal atmosphere–more space than earth. What look like clouds below are huge mountain peaks piercing the sky. A purple arc…
Curated Photo VII
Seventh in my series of ten… Enjoy. Face Off Republic of Korea ( South Korea) soldiers, foreground, stare down North Korean troops in Panmunjom at one of the world’s most dangerous intersections. The concrete curb-like barrier in center is the official border between the divided Korea. Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) soldier…
Curated Photo VI
The sixth in my series of ten favorite photos of summer. Enjoy! I walked among the 600 year old cedars, scented by incense drifting across the top of sacred Koyasan mountain. I walked among the tombs, spirit lifted by this powerful place. I arrived at the bridge, the gate, another bridge, another gate. I bowed….
