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….
Curated Photo IV
Fourth in my series of ten favorite photos of summer, thus far… Inari In Kyoto, Japan, I was hiking back down sacred and spiritually powerful Mount Inari when I came across a vending machine (yes…only in Japan). A group of young feral cats, uninhibited, came out from behind the machine to greet me. I took…
A Curated Photo: Part III
This is the third in my series of ten favorite photos of summer. Enjoy. Third Eye Wat Pho, Bangkok. Photo opps at this temple complex were endless but this is my favorite. Most would have chosen a pic of the giant Reclining Buddha, which I also have, but I most appreciate this quiet corner of…

In this series I will be choosing my ten favorite photos of summer to share with each of you. The first was featured in yesterday’s post, the second is now… Fire in the Sky As we sped through Ako, Japan on a Shinkansen bullet train at around 150 mph, I shot this from the comfort…
