I’m a retired Alcohol and Drug Counselor and the founder of Quantum Units Continuing Education an online corporation providing Mental Health and Substance Abuse courses to professionals required to renew their licenses and credentials.
I started ‘Mind‘ as an amateur photographer to share my photography of nature and the magnificent wildlife that surrounds me in its natural environment while living on the Central Coast of California.
For me, Photography is a pure Zen activity. Peaceful and Spiritual. When I’m out in nature, with my camera, I feel at one with all living beings and that my friend is as it should be.
All photos taken are mine and done so in their natural environment. I honor and respect the habitat of the magnificent wildlife and nature that I live in and which I am able to share with you.
Thank you for stopping by.
Thanks Beedie. Delighted to have discovered your eye-arresting blog. Lots to explore. Regards from Thom at the immortal jukebox.
Thank you Thom!

Thank you for visiting Fred. Sounds like you have a similar experience with photography.
Thank you Fred. It truly is.
I’m so glad our paths have crossed here, Beedie. You have a beautiful blog and I plan to visit again soon.
Thank you Ann. Very nice to meet you here on WordPress.
Found you via LCP, glad I did! Very much enjoyed looking through some of your posts today and will definitely be back for more. I too feel totally at peace when out with my camera, surrounded by nature. It’s the time I really ‘feel’ what I’m seeing and the time I most live in the moment.
Thank you for stopping by amateur camera. It’s so wonderful to meet like-minded friends in the Blogosphere!
Yes, indeed it is! There are some really lovely people in the wordpress community 🙂
Just popped over here having seen the blog by LCP as wanted to see more. Love the peace that you capture in your shots and love nature too. It can be so uplifting. MM 🍀
