An Unlikely Naturalist

I've spent the majority of my life exploring the natural places in the world.  I truly believe there is natural beauty to be found no matter where you are.  I constantly struggle between maintaining balance between the corporate and media-driven world the majority of us find ourselves in, and the peaceful, natural world that I prefer to retire to when the stars align.  My dream is to encourage others to make time for nature and adventure, no matter what other responsibilities the universe throws their way.  All photographs are my own, unless otherwise credited.

Sunset and storm clouds always makes for some beautiful colors.

This morning I find myself daydreaming of days I spent in Bimini. I believe it’s time to start making preparations for a return trip.

I will never tire of starting the day this way.
