The picture of this tree was taken in Arches National Park, Utah in 2013. This tree shows that it has lived through some tough times, but it isn't ready to give up on life.

This picture was taken in Bryce Canyon National Park in southern Utah. It was May of 2013 when my wife and I were hiking a trail trying to get back to shelter before the approaching storm hit. We got back to our car at the trailhead just as the rain and then hail overran us. The hail was small and not damaging. The ground looked like it snowed.

This is an osprey taken at one of the beaches on Marco Island, Florida. I was surprised to look up all of a sudden and see this large beautiful bird standing atop the cabana next to us. What is fun about this picture is how it's beak lines up with the head of the woman in the weeds.

A ray of light a Ray of Hope. This picture was taken 6 a.m. in Stone bridge Aurora as I started my training for half marathon.
