Few would argue that one of the cutest sea mammals around are Sea Otters. Whether they’re grooming, using tools to crack open shellfish to eat or just warming themselves in the sun Sea Otters seem to have an eternally cute appearance. As Sea Otters rest in rafts you never know what pose they might take. The rare combination is the “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” pose between neighboring o
As long as there are trees to walk under I will forever enjoy a harmony with nature. Back in 2007 a morning walk along the shore of Jackson Lake in Grand Teton National Park yielded stellar views of Mount Moran, but it was my brief moments amongst the trees as I returned to the trailhead that grabbed my eye most.

I particularly liked the mood of the image. The long exposure, darker tones in the sky and leading lines of the ruins make for an excellent photo. Congrats Greg and thanks for taking part. To see some of the other great photos taken check out the Sutro Baths Pho

Last week in my post Privacy: You’ve Just Given It Away What Next? I discussed recent news surrounding Facebook to challenge your thinking on what you’re getting in return for revealing your personal or business information online. If you’re curious to learning more on my thoughts I highly recommend you read a response I made to a comment by Don Giannatti (@Wizwow). While my original post highlights some
