Good morning! My little #whippet, Ophelia, is keeping me company as I drink my coffee and read The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson - which is excellent, by the way. Highly recommend. #NoodleHorse #SightHound #dog #TheWayOfKings #BrandonSanderson #BookRecommendation

Man I miss those days! #MultipleSclerosis makes travel very difficult for me now. #Fatigue and muscle weakness are my biggest challenges. #MS changes everything, but I find new pleasures in life and carry on. #Iceland #Vestrahorn #NaturePhotography

Sunset over Badwater Basin Death Valley National Park, California USA I used a graduated neutral density filter to reduce the brightness of the sky so my camera could handle the broad dynamic range of a shot like this one. #wideanglelens #naturephotography #landscapephotography #gndfilter

“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society where none intrudes, By the deep Sea, and music in its roar: I love not Man the less, but Nature more…” George Gordon Byron Cannon Beach, Oregon
