Capital Wheel Reflections

No two visions are alike. Those who reach the heights have all toiled up the steep mountains by a different route. To each has been revealed a different panorama. 

- Albert Pinkham Ryder

  This is the Capital Wheel.  As you can tell, it was a very calm morning on the water when I took this.

You Must Travel It By Yourself

Not I, nor anyone else can travel that road for you. 

You must travel it by yourself. 

It is not far. It is within reach. 

Perhaps you have been on it since you were born, 

and did not know. 

Perhaps it is everywhere - on water and land. 

~ Walt Whitman

On Royal Wings - Monarch Butterfly

We're all travelers in this world. From the sweet grass to the packing house. Birth 'til death. We travel between the eternities.

The Road Ahead

About the Images: Photographing "every day" life - with the Instagram App for the iPhone. (these are both iPhone pics.) Some come out pretty cool.   "The Road Ahead" was taken thru a dirty windshield at about 55mph - but I still like it :)

We must go beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.

~John Franklin
