My wife captured this striking sunset on the Washington coast a few years back
as my son and I were returning from razor clam digging at the water's edge.

Swimmer Guy

It was a busy June in downtown Omaha this summer with the 2012 College World Series and the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Swim Trials events overlapping. As a sponsor of the swim team, Mutual of Omaha erected this massive sculpture of a swimmer emerging from the grounds of its midtown complex. It was a popular attraction for passersby and known affectionately, by our family anyway, as "swimmer guy."

Sunrise on the River

“Once in a lifetime, if one is lucky, one so merges with sunlight and air and running water that whole eons, the eons that mountains and deserts know, might pass in a single afternoon without discomfort."
