Joshua Tree: A Seussical Land of Enchantment

In 2009, I had the occasion to visit Joshua Tree National Park.  Joshua Tree is part of the United State's national park system.  It is unique in every way.  The northern part of the park holds a different mood than the southern portion.  Most of the photographs shown here were taken in a gorgeous area known as Hidden Valley.  If you ever are in the area of this amazing place and are looking … [Read More...]

Quotes

No one lights a lamp in order to hide it behind the door: the purpose of light is to create more light, to open people's eyes, to reveal the marvels around.

Paulo Coelho (from "The Witch of Portobello")
