Nature quote from the “Message from Pan” Chapter in When We Were Gods
Another nature quote excerpt from the “Message from Pan” chapter in When We Were Gods:

Inspirational nature quote and photo
Continuing on the theme of how nature can clean the earth, here’s an encouraging inspirational quote. It not only says that nature changes dirt into beauty, but also gives encouragement to slog through our own dirt to produce beauty in our lives.

I took this photo in Homer, Alaska, during a speaking tour in 2009. Homer has a spit of land that juts out into the Pacific Ocean. There are many bald eagles there, probably because they love to eat fish and they can hunt in the ocean that surrounds the spit.
Orbs or Snowflakes?
You decide. Are these orbs or snowflakes?

This beautiful nature photograph of swans reminds me that this time of year is the time of the waterfowl migrations. I took this digital photograph in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and used as an inspirational photograph for the month of September in the 2009 Edgar Cayce Calendar. You may not know it but swans migrate.

2012 Galactic Center Photos
I am happy to say that I managed to get two wonderful photographs of the Galactic Center a couple of mornings ago, here in the Florida Keys. The weather for this year’s Winter Star Party has not been easy. Many nights, the skies are clouded over. However, on two nights, which also happened to be bitterly cold and windy, we had clear skies right to the horizon! Usually, the night sky over the horizon is hazy because of the surrounding water.
Fantastic! Especially since the Galactic Center rises out of the ocean on the southeast horizon at about 5:00 a.m. Unfortunatley, a sliver of the old moon was rising just behind the Galactic Center. Nevertheless, with my trusty Nikon set to take 30 second exposures, I did get both a horizontal and vertical image that, with Nikon’s Capture NX2 software, I was able to resolve a great photograph of the star constellations of Sagittarius and Scorpio surrouding the Galactic Center. Many people believe that the line up of the earth and sun with the Galactic Center herald a new world on December 21, 2012.
