I have lived with several Zen masters -- all of them cats. - Eckhart Tolle

Photo by zhang kaiyv. A calico cat with a mix of black, orange, and white fur sits on a stone walkway near an ornate, red and gold wooden structure. Its green eyes gaze forward with a calm yet observant expression. The background, softly blurred, features warm tones of red, gold, and hints of green, suggesting a temple or historical site. The cat's poised stance and the rich architectural details evoke a sense of quiet elegance.

In 2 days I'm leaving for wild, amazing Patagonia to run my annual photography tours, timed for peak fall colors. Please visit my website at beautysurroundsyou.com/patagonia-ph... to find out more about our 2027 tours! I can't wait! #photography #landscapephotography #naturephotography #bluesky

Patagonia truly is wilderness untamed. It is not just the awe inspiring mountains, but also the stormy, dramatic and rapidly changing weather which make it so very special!⁠

Although the wind was screaming in my ears it was a scene of serenity & breathtaking majesty as the Cuernos del Paine lit up in magnificent light. Light I had not witnessed in 5 years of exploring Patagonia.

The ever changing light is what makes Patagonia so very special. In Torres del Paine, a spot lit iceberg is dwarfed by mountains in the shade, except the jagged summit, bathed in the warm afternoon sun.

Fierce winds drive off snow and ice from the peaks of Paine Grande in Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park. There is a whole world of drama and grandeur to be found far above in the peaks of mountains, and especially so for Patagonia!

Life in sepia... Another one from that windy sunset at Vestri-Fellsjara beach at Jökulsárlón a few days ago. #Iceland

Stormy seas with northerly winds blowing the black (brown) sand down the beach and into the breaking waves. Sunset light, so looks sepia.

It is good to have empathy. But spending all day feeling miserable about everything bad happening in the world will not make the problems disappear. It is okay to step back sometimes and take a moment to relax and enjoy life.
