PHOTOGRAPHS THAT INSPIRE

This world we live on is so filled with beauty, every area has it's own unique beauty, If only people everywhere could look for the beauty in this world and the beauty in each other and in life, so much negativity could be removed, and how much more better place our world would be to live in. I would love to see every home with beautiful paintings and photographs, good beautiful music, good literature, and surround themselves with uplifting people who bring out the best in each other, and be the kind of person to lift others themselves.
If you would like to purchase photos from this site, you must go to my painting blog. To order more than one, enter the name of each with a coma between them where it says enter name of painting. My painting blog is: http://livingradiance.blogspot.com

JESUS BURIAL SITE





This is the tomb where it is believed that Jesus was buried, in the upper left photo there is a place for three peoples bodies (two shown) In the upper right is a round stone, similar, but smaller than one which could have been rolled in front of the tomb. The gardens are beautiful around this area.

These are real to me now



Is this Egypt or what?

CIARO EGYPT

This was a view from the balcony of my hotel room in Ciaro. I can hardly believe that I was actually in Egypt and Israel just a few days ago looking out my room at the Nile River, and seeing pyramids and toombs of ancient people and places I studied about in school so many years ago.

Camel Ride




In Egypt I rode on a Camel, the scariest part was when the camel knelt down, I thought for sure I would tumble forward off the camel,




but fortunately I stayed on.


ELEPHANT RIDE


In Thailand I rode on the back of an elephant in beautiful green landscape I will never forget.

Thai Princess

When I returned from a trip to Thailand I let my daughter scan a photo I had taken while there dressed in their clothing, and she sent an e-mail with the photo to her siblings and said "Now mom thinks she is a Thai Princess. So here I am an honorary Thai Princess.

Vail Colorado

This scene reminded me so much of a photo I took on a train ride when i hiked up near the Materhorn in Europe many years ago.

ROSES

One of the most extensive Rose Gardens in the US is in Mesa, Arizona at Mesa Community College. I took this photo and many others there.

SUNNY SUNFLOWER


I could do a whole album on my photo's of flowers, if you go to my blog: http://livingradiance.blogspot.com you will see the impact flowers have had on me.

MOUNTAIN AREA OF THAILAND

Atmospheric conditions always appeal to me, they give such a feeling of mistique and wonder, probably more to me because we rarely see fog where I live, in the desert part of Arizona. I took this phot in the mountain area of Thailand.

Northern Arizona Sunset

This desolate area of Arizona has such a simple yet complex beauty about it.

I GIVE UP

When I came upon this scene near my sons home near Pinacle Peak north of Scottsdale Arizona, an image came into my mind of an old cowboy holding up his arms and saying "I give up."

What do you see?

And what do you see in this photo?

SOUTHERN UTAH


I found this spot after hiking in a half mile. It was well worth the early morning hike to find this beautiful, peaceful scene, shortly after a deer had posed for me to get a nice photo of him.

Little Beauty


I captured this photo of this little beauty in Central America after she had performed with older girls, she performed every step and body movement of the older girls as well as they did. I would love to have brought her home with me, she was so cute.

DON'T YOU THINK I'M BEAUTIFUL TOO!

I took this photo in the home of a friend in Texas, capturing this cat in it's natural pose.

Invitation to go hiking


Nature is always so inviting, that is why I have always loved to go hiking. I took this photo in Southern Colorado

Iowa scene


I took this photo when I visited my daughter in Iowa, every area of the country has its own unique natural beauty.
