Explosion of beauty.

Scattered puzzle pieces of shadow and light.

Passages through beauty.

Bright moss, on a rolling stone called Earth.

Leaves turning, trees bare, color on grass.

Please enjoy some photos. I took them this afternoon.

I don’t say much on this blog about who or where I am. My intention is to enjoy photography–and walking.  And to provide a sense of beauty that is universal. And possibly, maybe, to touch the minds and hearts of some readers.

But I must now say that this particular blog post and the next feature photos from the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Diego’s beautiful Balboa Park. I live nearby. A couple days ago I became a member of this garden. It’s a truly wonderful place.

Thank you.

Early morning light along the river.

Walk with me along the river

It is early morning.

The sun is rising slowly, and all is very still.

Pausing for a moment beside the river early one morning. Sunlight and green reflections touch the nearby water.

Light among yellowing leaves. The cottonwoods are dappled with magic once again. The world seems new.

Quietly, fresh light touches life.

Leaves feasting on morning sunlight. The same light will amply feed eyes that hunger.

Patient trees by the river have swallowed a bite of sky.

The light showers its warm abundance. Light embraces life.

Leafway to heaven.

A leafway to heaven.

Higher and higher.

Leaf by leaf.

Ever higher.
