IMG_0076DSCN3895 Away along the rivers and creeks I saw living beings I rarely see or  I’ve never seen before; I took a lot of photographs. IMG_0130 There is a feeling of “capturing” what is photographedDSCN3846 …at times it can feel as if what counts is the photo, more than the actual experience of what is seen. IMG_0303 IMG_0297My deepest and most memorable experiences have no photo, and I don’t think that is a coincidence. On an island surrounded by creeks I lay on the soft moss covered branch of a live oak tree. I felt my body and the tree meld. I could have stayed all day in that soft embrace, held by the tree, by the earth. IMG_0296I saw many bottlenose dolphins surface for air alongside the sailboat,IMG_0181 I tried to photograph them…there are some photos… but…one night I awoke, hearing dolphins breathing alongside the boat. I went out into the dark night sky,  the sleeping dolphin breath and gentle darkness filled me…..   Body and earth, sky and sea. We are we.
