Don't grow up too quickly, lest you forget how much you love the beach.

The Piano Man

One man gets nothing but discord out of a piano; another gets harmony. No one claims the piano is at fault. Life is about the same. The discord is there, and the harmony is there. Study to play it correctly, and it will give forth the beauty; play it falsely, and it will give forth the ugliness. Life is not at fault.
~ Yancy Butler

Take Your Pick

I can't believe it's been a whole week since I've posted. I'm making up for it today tho with over a dozen. I am trying to get photos together to put on some different products that I would like to start selling and I need your help. I can't use all of these and have a hard time choosing what would work and what wouldn't. A lot of these will be going on small purses. Could I get some opinions on these? Pick about four if you can. Thank you!












To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.

More Joshua Tree

See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence...we need silence to be able to touch souls.

The BFG

You would think that I would have gotten at least one photo of an actual Joshua Tree. Personally, I think they are pretty ugly, tho. I found much prettier (and stranger) things to take photos of. Tonight I decided to post the stranger things. I had to name this after the Roald Dahl book. It seemed pretty fitting. For those who don't know, The BFG stands for the big, friendly giant.


The matter with human beans is that they is absolutely refusing to believe in anything unless they is actually seeing it right in front of their own schnozzles.

The Desert

I was able to get out to Joshua Tree National Park yesterday and today to see the beautiful spring flowers. I'm sure I'll be posting more pictures in the next couple of days, but I had to post something tonight before I go to bed.


I have never been in a natural place and felt that was a waste of time. I never have. And it's a relief. If I'm walking around a desert or whatever, every second is worthwhile.
