My daughter is a wildlife major and while roaming a conservation area near our home the other day so she could gather information for some spring break homework, I walked around with my camera ready and had the treat of catching this beauty.
Our world is a lovely, fascinating world.
It is doubly as lovely when sharing it with a daughter you are so very proud of.

Bless you all today.

This was taken somewhere up in northern Missouri. Now and then I just drive down the roads less traveled to see what I can find. This was one of those perfect days to do that.

Walking along my path,
I notice you.
You are special.
The winds of chance have blown you here
so that I see you
to learn how beautiful it can be
to stand out from the crowd.

The Perfect Morning
It was one of those mornings where I felt truly awake, alive, present and was so completely encompassed by the beauty, I could feel it in my being. Walking these grounds, listening to the wind and the birds was a truely present moment that reminded me what life is really all about.
Go out and live.

Stark cold concrete built into the ground
in a decade long past.
You are a reminder of the fear and turmoil
that we humans create while on this earth.

Yet as the sun sets for another day,
the fleeting beauty covers everything like a blanket
to remind us,
if we will listen,
that the only thing we have for certain
is this present moment.

Interactive People on G+

The other day I asked people who they thought was the most interactive person they have found on G+ and I ended up getting over 1,000 responses and interest in having a circle created of the people mentioned. Since there were so many people I had to make 3 circle shares to include them all. Since people from different communities responded I ended up with a sampling of people from across a lot of the G+ world.

I'm glad to finally be done putting this together since it was quite time consuming. I am aiming on finishing my Corporate Series and starting a new series soon. I'm also going to be offering a limited print run of my Dark Series.

Here are links to the three circle shares:

Yesterday I had the chance to go watch a gorgeous sunset at a local conservation area. As I was watching the colors dance across the sky, I noticed this silhouette against the reflection in the lake. Sometimes its the simple things that we should all be thankful for.

I usually try to avoid worry when I can but I feel like the only one worried about the fact that it's much warmer this time of year than it should be.

This old bunker is located in a conservation area that I frequent.
In the 1940's the area was home to the Department of Army and used as a TNT munitions plant to support the World War II effort. 100 of the old TNT storage bunkers still exist on the property.
