**UNHEARD**

While thousands ran along Ocean Blvd. for the Long Beach Marathon, I saw this man standing on a mound of sand at the ocean's edge.

Shouting at the air, shouting at the ocean, talking to the wind blowing against him.

Something about that moment hit me. Uncomfortable, yet deeply human.

Here's a man clearly struggling with something, standing completely alone while thousands of people were just a short distance away.

There is no price that can be put on mental health.

I wish him the best.

DRIFTING
When the light disappears, shapes emerge!
The irridescent glow of the jelly fish, drifting through the darkness

A little eerie. A little alein. Completely natural!

Scarlet Macaw - Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica

I had a long enough lens to capture this beautiful Macaw just hanging out. They are loud and you hear them before you see them. Beautiful birds.

Matterhorn of the Sea
Playa Hermosa | Costa Rica

Rainy season builds these towers by the hour — moisture pulled up from the sea until the sky can't hold it anymore.
