Just a moment in time...captured with a single snapshot...a photograph...made into a lasting memory. How beautiful are these picturesque views... I look at these pictures and many others I have, often wondering when I will once again be able to travel. To spend vacation time the way I want to, not the way time is presently dictating I have to. Most of my time is spent working right now...and I am surely not complaining by any means. I am glad to have a job in these tough times. Some day, I would like to find work I love doing and can make a good living at.I love taking pictures; I love art, music, and nature. During my younger years, I have had the rare privilege and pleasure of traveling and living in remote areas of the world. Where nature was still at it's best, before man cleared more road ways and paved jungles to make room for parking lots and hotels. Where sun light danced off of the sands, and the beaches stretched as far as the eyes could see... Where cliffs stood high above the crashing waves and many caverns waited to be explored. Where waterfalls tumbled off the rocks of mountains into pools of water, which later shaped and formed into small lagoons... so crystal clear was the water.... so crisp and cool to the touch... so quiet... so peaceful were these moments in time.... it felt like time itself stood still for this very moment. As I basked in the scenery, which took my breath away.... I made a lasting memory; I've made many lasting memories over the years, many which are etched into my thoughts, and have become treasured moments in time; ones I know, I will never forget. Some are as clear as if it were only yesterday, others like dreams of days gone by. Not one price tag can be placed on any of these wonderful memories or moments I experienced and spent exploring with nature in it's rarest forms of life. I can only hope to do it once again, when time permits. This is where I want to be...with nature...It's a memory, it's mine...and it's a public's view.
