serendipity: an instance of finding valuable things not sought for With eyes and mind open, we can have moments of serendipity at any time, any place. I’m normally not a fan of rain, but with day after day of stormy weather this spring, I decided to open my mind and embrace it. Then one day [...]

Earth Day: Glimpses of our planet’s beauty
Just today as I drove home from work, I wondered somewhat nervously what our planet will be like when my children are older, when they are thinking about the future of their children. (To honor Earth Day, I also posted about one way we try to live sustainably and teach our children to love nature [...]
The Colors of Travel
I don’t think I’m alone in saying that one of the things I love most about the world is its colors. In the midst of this drizzly, windy weather here in Northern California, I couldn’t miss the theme “colorful” for this week’s #FriFotos, the weekly photo series on Twitter.

A Travel Photo Treat: Sunset on the Pacific
Sometimes everything just comes together perfectly in one moment. That’s how this sunset on the Pacific was. I was relaxing on the deck of the house we rented in Carmel, California, sitting in a hot tub with my sister-in-law, building common ground through unhurried conversation. No agenda. The sunset became more beautiful with every glance; [...]
Pin ItGetting to Know You: Simon of Wild About Travel

The Colors of California
I used to live in California when I was a young teenager. After I moved to the Midwest at the age of 15, I realized that most Californians are California-centric. They don’t leave California, they can’t imagine living anywhere else, and they don’t see any reason to travel to other parts of the U.S. (Stressing [...]
Pin ItA Travel Photo Treat: Java’s Volcanoes
Sometimes the best views of the places we visit are from the airplane (if you’re fortunate enough to get a window seat, that is). On this short flight from Jogjakarta, on the Indonesian island of Java, to Denpasar, Bali, I was treated to this view of 3 of Java’s volcanoes. It is moments like these [...]
