Nature Eases My Pain

Lost In The Fog

Even a snail couldn't find his way in the fog. Either that or he was a snail artist or perhaps a snail figure skater competing in his compulsories.

    Nature Eases My Pain

    It’s been more than six months since I posted a gallery, so I thought I’d share some of my adventures, none of which have produced a prolific portfolio of photographs, but all of which were worth exploration. I’m still hunting arches as I was re-elected as President of the Natural Arch and Bridge Society, am still fascinated by long hikes to waterfalls, am still learning new techniques to photograph the night sky and am still hiking here and there, especially there.

    Some people age gracefully and some do not. I retired in time to join those who do not. Details aside, when physically challenged, I try to respond defiantly in kind. The more I'm hurting, the longer and harder the hike. One of my gastroenterologists recently said to me: “At some point you are going to have to put your medical care before your passion.” And I responded, “Or not.” 

    As I inferred, there is no cohesive theme to this gallery, so I named it, “Nature Eases My Pain.” At the very least, it's a distraction.

    I hope you enjoy it and don’t forget to read the captions. Often, they are more interesting than the photographs. Sad, but true.
