"I accept what I cannot change," "I will focus on what I can influence," or "I will adapt and move forward."
The Milky Way at 13,850 feet elevation at sunset atop Mauna Kea on the Big Island with Maui in the distance and the clouds below.
In the meadow where the sun meets the sky,
A hummingbird & a fox pass by, One flits and hovers with grace in the air,
The other slyly trots without
One dancing with grace, the other, a clever display,
In the meadow, they meet, a contrast so clear,

The Hot Springs Chinati Resort near Presidio, Texas, known for centuries for healing properties, was a sanctuary for indigenous tribes and later travelers seeking relief and rejuvenation. Avery & I attest to its mystical powers, bringing peace and renewal to all who visit. #MysticalProperties

A sacred place forgotten and lost, except for one eagle resting on a cross. A testament to a community abandoned, yet its historical significance still remains. #SacredPlace #ForgottenHistory #EagleSymbol #CommunityLegacy #HistoricalSignificance #bigbend

Under the full moon in the high desert's glow,
Where the 🌒 whispers secrets only it knows,
I stand in awe, feeling the magic flow,
Miles of desert stretch before my 👀,
Bathed in silver light from the skies,
I think of the ones I ❤️, with heartfelt sighs,
And under the 🌒, our connection never dies.

“The Chloe” a 20 foot tall mosaic monolith, who’s glazing at the Cienega Mountains in the background. We were out looking for wildlife and we found this new art installation created by Rusty Martin who lives just outside the far Northwest section of BBRSP on Hwy 169.
