My Brother Sun

My brother Sun, who hangs in the sky. Along with your sister you guide
my steps and color my life. Every day you keep me warm and show me how
beautiful the world is. Every night Sister Moon shelters me with her
silver blanket, reminding me that while I may not see you, you are
always there for me. Every morning there you are, sending me a ray of
light... a ray of hope that heralds the dawn of a new day. Full of
adventures and experiences to shape my life, which I'll share with you
Brother Sun.

Davy Jones' Price Stolen

Imagine the sun giving you warmth, the wind kissing your face, a
gentle movement under your feet and the sea meeting the sky in the
horizon. That's exactly what you would experience aboard my friend's
yacht. Here is an opportunity to wrestle with the will of the wind and
sea. Where your ability to harness their power and make them do your
bidding may determine your safe return or a visit to Davy Jones
locker. This is the adventure you embark upon at sea and winning is
better than loosing.

Light Filters

Following the subject of wild fires, there is something that never
ceases tn amaze me... the beautiful skies. When fires happen near
where I live the sky turns a shade of orange. There is a change in the
quality of the sun light. A sort of perennial twilight that paints
everything with its magical brush. This is magical light permeates
everything, giving the day a touch of calmness that is usually felt at
the end of the day. Maybe it nature saying that in the end everything
will be alright.

Surreal Scenes

When I left Puerto Rico I thought that there would be no more extreme
nature for me. Meaning I would not have to go through hurricanes and
the like. Well I did escape the hurricanes and traded those for the
famous California wild fires. Like hurricanes they are a seasonal
occurence. The images posted here were sent by a friend. They were
taken from her home and while evacuating the area. Luckily nothing
happened to her place even though the fires were really close.
Surreal.

Nature's Lullaby

One of the things I really miss from Puerto Rico is sleeping there.
Each night nature creates a lullaby for you to sleep to. Sounds like
the rain outside your window, crickets chirping and coquis singing.
This last one is a very small frog found only in Puerto Rico. Its name
is derived from the sounds it makes, coqui-coqui. All these sounds
combine to make nature's symphony that will take you to the land of
dreams. And with these sounds my friends, I wish you sweet dreams
tonight.

The Man Who Could Talk To Elephants

Some time ago I met Lawrence Anthony from the Earth Org. This is a man
with such passion and love for elephants that he can talk to them. He
is an activist who will go anywhere to save these gentle giants. And
when I say anywhere I mean anywhere. Even to the middle of civil war
in the heart of Africa. Meeting with war leaders who are unreachable,
delivering his message and even getting them to protect the elephants.
