Sunset Drum Circle

Orlando, FL

Years ago, in Santa Barbara, Sunday afternoon down at the beach there was a large group (sometimes well over 100 people) just "being" while banging on a drum all day (think Todd Rudgren).

The energy of the drums, the dancing, the additional percussion made for a very unique and invigorating afternoon at the beach... Fast forward MANY years later and I stumbled on an article about drum circles here in Flo...

Metal Wind Chimes at the Beach

Anna Maria Island, FL

Sometimes it’s time for something a little different. While each beach / wave episode set is unique due to many variables… strength of tide, movement in or out, the angle of the beach under the water, the wind that day, etc… 

I wanted to provide something that may be useful for those meditating or doing yoga. I came to the beach with two different sets of chimes. One was of bamboo, ...

Morning Beach Waves

Anna Maria Island, FL

On Anna Maria Island, just North of Sarasota we can enjoy the early morning quietness (except the waves of course) as we begin our day. The Island is not that big, only a few blocks wide, but a great escape just a short drive South of the Tampa Bay.

I'm always looking for a new beach, a new place to "hang out" and with a nice variety of restaurants, and LOTS of small, intimate lodging options,...

Windy Rain Forest just off the Beach

Costa Rica

While visiting Costa Rica, and filming at the beach, I turned around. Yep, behind me was a rain forest where they measure annual rainfall in feet. So, this was a windy day the forest was filled with its own unique sounds. When I was done recording on the beach, I began moving all my gear away from the beach and in towards the forest. Now, I was able to capture the sounds of the leaves m...

Blue Water Beach Waves

7-Mile Beach, Grand Cayman Island

Another stop on the birthday cruise, 7-Mile Beach on Grand Cayman Island. I got up early to catch one of the first tenders from the ship to Georgetown. It was only a 5-10 minute ride, and the views of the island as we approached in the early morning was of beautiful villas along the bluffs.

After catching a ride to 7-Mile Beach, I made my way to a shady part of the beach away fr...

1880 Steam Train Ride

While the train originated to support the many gold mines in the area. Today, the train transports visitors between Hill City and Keystone. The rail cars have been purchased from other railways from around the Country and refurbished to run this route. Each car is a trip into the pas...

Random Boulders in Kootenai Creek

Stevensville, Bitterroot Range, MT

As the weather began turning from Summer to Fall, I was visiting friends in the Bitterroot Valley in Montana. While we were chatting, they told me about their favorite hike. Kootenai Creek. The following afternoon I made my way across the valley to the trail head. It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon, about 70 degrees as I got my gear ready to head up the trail. Impo...

Vigie Beach Waves

Island of St Lucia, East Caribbean

After a morning catamaran cruise along the coast to the Pitons with a little snorkeling along the way, I was back on the ship by early afternoon. Looking at the map, I found what is probably the closest beach to the airport… literally on the other side of a fence. Vigie Beach. I made my way over for an afternoon on the beach and of course a beer. This long stretch of beach was fill...
