My Kind of Cosmos

This scattering of asterisks not only intoxicated us with a cosmic aroma but incited musings of a new discovery…Bouchai, a combination of kombucha and chai. A little effervescent and a little spicy over a full glass of shaved ice by … Continue reading

Out On A Limb

Out On A Limb

At this point there’s nowhere else to go but out on a limb. Retrieving one’s spirit while cavorting about in nature isn’t really a novel notion though. In ancient times natura literally meant “birth,” and creation stories were a common … Continue reading

Nature’s Delight

Nature’s Delight

I’ve been shooting more nature photos lately, a premonition perhaps but not a strategy of any sorts. In fact, none of these squares have a strategy they simply reflect my thoughts at the moment. It’s not at all that nature … Continue reading
