The sun sets in a rain storm over Green Lakes State Park. At first I was worried about getting drenched and ruining my gear. Then I decided I just didn’t care. I’m glad I didn’t.

I was working with a point and shoot camera when I took this photograph. Because of the display, I hadn’t even noticed the snake that had wandered in to my shot. Thankfully, he knew how I was composing my photograph and lined himself up perfectly with that.

In the busy bump of day-to-day everything, every now and then you run into something special. It takes you by surprise, fills your life with joy, and sets you on a new and more incredible course. From the very first day that I met my beautiful bride, my life has been one incredible surprise after another — an entire train lined up with colorful little packages, all for me.

One of the most beautiful things on this planet is the face of this dear earth as she awakes at the first like of the rising run. Each moment fills me with awe and wonder. Every crease in her ancient face warms itself in the sun for yet another spin.

And the quickest way to ruin that moment is to see the face of this dear earth pock marked with the trash left behind by those who don’t respect her.
