Beauty

I love to immerse myself in beauty of all kinds. Whether rambling in the high Sierras, my beloved Pt. Reyes National Seashore, the Costa Rican rainforest, or in France, I enjoy photographing the many forms that the light of Awareness takes. We can meditate upon these scenes – both natural and man-made – and let ourself be taken by them, opening to a deeper way of seeing and being. Please take your time to contemplate some of my favorite photos from the past few years and savor what they evoke! (click to enlarge)
