"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others;
for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness;
and for poise walk with the knowledge that you're never alone."
--- Audrey Hepburn
These photos of mine were captured in Switzerland and other places I traveled in Europe. Aside from cropping to fit the collage, they represent the true form without computer manipulation. Wildlife sets the example of being natural by expressing your own individuality while paying attention to your surroundings. I believe every living creature on earth can connect with others on an emotional level with their eyes and facial expressions.
"It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves"
--- Edmund Hillary
The art and beauty of nature is everywhere on the globe. Sometimes you have to go out of your way, get out of your comfort zone, conquer your fears and test endurance. Dare to be different. Those trails to the right were challenging but staying alert, focused, and determined helped me to achieve my goal. The Swiss Alps are heavenly. I am devoted to document my travels through photo journaling. It tells the story about where I left my footprints on earth.
"How hard to realize that every camp of men or beast
has this glorious starry firmament for a roof! In such places
standing alone on the mountain-top it is easy to realize that whatever
special nests we make - leaves and moss like the marmots and birds,
or tents or piled stone - we all dwell in a house of one room - the world with
the firmament for its roof - and are sailing the celestial spaces
without leaving any track"
--- John Muir
Life is limited. I cannot wait for dates on my calendar to do all the things I need to do. Sitting on a nest, waiting for something to happen is a waste of time, unless of course there's an egg in that nest. Some people save their whole life for places to live, a house with a view, a roof over their heads, perhaps a stream or a community of people to share the HOA fees. Whatever you dream, make your wish come to fruition. You get one shot at living. Live with passion!
