Morning Ritual

 

The White American pelican in the back has a fibrous "horn" on its upper bill. It only appears during breeding season and is shed after laying eggs.

Generally, life is good.

Endless Fascination

Brilliant, captivating and unfortunately poisonous Myrtle spurge.

My fascination with these flowers feels endless.  With every glance, they reveal something new—a delicate curve, a hidden pattern, a quiet complexity that might otherwise go unnoticed. 

Yet beneath their beauty lies a subtle warning, a reminder that some things are meant to be admired, not touched.

Generally, life is good.

Soft Awakening

 

Unlike us, ladybugs can't generate their own body heat. When you see them sitting still like this in the morning, they are often basking. 

They orient themselves to catch the maximum amount of sunlight, essentially using their body as tiny solar panels to get their muscles warm enough to fly.

Generally, life is good.

Hidden Beauty in the Wasatch Mountains

You have to slow down to see this delicate White clover—but it’s worth every second.

Generally, life is good.
