Horses and Carriages

A New York Tradition

There has been a lot of talk in recent years about phasing out New York's horse and carriage rides. Some parties contend that the horses are not well treated. There was also a controversy over a political motive to open the stable property up for development.

Happily, as of this posting, the carriages are still operating. Come take a ride! This New York tradition might not last forever.

To Be A Rock

Grace Under Pounding Pressure

We all face challenges. We all endure hardships. But it's important to keep our troubles in perspective

When I feel that life is putting too much pressure on me, I think about this rock. Here he stands, a solitary sentinel, pounded mercilessly by massive waves, twenty-four hours a day.

Stay strong. Be rock solid. No problem is too great or too persistent to endure.

Pacific Sunset

Catching Light As It Happens

Light really does happen, and sometimes it happens in majestic fashion. Get up out of bed and arrive at the scene in time, and you might just capture something spectacular.
