What a Wonderfull World!
How many times in your life have you spent days or even months worrying about something that never happened? We tangle our minds in a web of “What Ifs”. “What might she think” or “What might he do”. This is the trap of placing expectations on the future.
The future is yet unwritten. For us to find peace we need to stay focused in the here and now. The energy we now spend planning, fretting and worrying can be used for so much more. Let us open to this moment and breathe in the beauty that is right in front of us. We can never really know if tomorrow will come, let alone what it will bring.

Softly aglow in sea-washed sunlight, Christ of the Abyss stands 30 feet (9 meters) down in the Atlantic in Florida's John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park. Visitors to the sanctuary don masks and fins or view the sea life through the glass bottoms of tour boats.

In full bloom, an ornamental cherry tree branch extends out over a moat at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Japan. The flowering cherry tree, or sakura, is one of the most exalted flowering plants in Japan, where the blossoms' short but beautiful blooming time is a symbol for the evanescence of human life.

A prothonotary warbler adds a splash of gold to a tableau of cherry blossoms along the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C. The famed cherry trees were given to the U.S. capital city by Japan in 1912. More than 3,000 trees—and 12 different varieties—made the oversea journey from Yokohama to the District of Columbia.

Cherry blossoms frame a sunset view of the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. The blooming of the pink and white blossoms heralds spring's arrival in the nation's capital, where hundreds of thousands of visitors flock each year to visit the National Cherry Blossom Festival.

A lavender haze creeps over a boat-filled harbor in Rockport, Maine. Maine's picturesque coastal towns are popular with sailors and summer tourists alike.

Towering lavender clouds loom like misty mountains over the coast of Scotland's Isle of Skye. Skye is one of the Inner Hebrides, a group of islands off Scotland's west coast.

Iron-rich rocks create a rust-red creek bed for fast-flowing waters in Alberta's Waterton Lakes National Park. The Canadian park lies across the international border from Montana's Glacier National Park.

Two brightly colored sun conures relax on a branch at the Bramble Park Zoo in Watertown, South Dakota. These South American parakeets are common in captivity, but wild populations have crashed due to unregulated trapping.

A mandrill, tethered on a rope in central Africa, reaches for the camera. These colorful primates are threatened. They are often hunted as bushmeat, and many Africans consider them to be a delicacy. Mandrills are feeling the squeeze of spreading agriculture and human settlement—both are shrinking their rain forest homeland.

Lekedi, a baby western lowland gorilla, sits for a close-up at a gorilla orphanage in Gabon. Central Africa's lowland gorilla populations suffer from steady habitat loss, capture and killing by poachers, and the cross fire of civil wars within their range. Conservationists are working to avert the species' extinction by collecting gorilla orphans, nurturing and socializing them, and ultimately releasing them back into the wild.

A spicebush swallowtail caterpillar in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, shows off eyespots meant to deter predators looking for an easy meal.

A time-lapse photo captures the wispy steam and yellow glow of the Georgia-Pacific paper mill in Brunswick, Georgia, at night. The mill is surrounded by the wetlands of poet Sidney Lanier's "Marshes of Glynn."
Enjoy!
