So I call this “Inspiring Tree.” I shot this one while riding my road bike in Jacksonville, FL. The tree itself is wise and aged, which is inspiring. The light shining through it is inspiring and beautiful, perhaps symbolic of a higher power – no matter if you believe or not, and if you do,Continue reading “Inspiring Tree”

Concentration of Solutions and Tonicity
This second discussion of an important topic in Anatomy and Physiology will cover concentration of solutions – in other words, does the cell shrink or burst, or neither, when placed in different solutions? Tonicity is the concept governing the answer to this commonly asked question. The first thing to realize here is that we onlyContinue reading “Concentration of Solutions and Tonicity”
Inspiration
What’s more inspiring than nature during hard times, and always…
Na-K Pump: Active Transport
Active Transport is active (as opposed to passive) because it uses chemical energy released by breaking off one inorganic phosphate from ATP. In the case of the Na-K Pump, that energy is used to change the shape of the membrane transport protein, thus dumping out 3 Na+ ions. This movement of sodium out of theContinue reading “Na-K Pump: Active Transport”
Sunset Fishing
Two of my favorite things in life are sunsets and fishing. That’s mostly why this photo makes me happy. The time around sunset and the sunset itself both make me feel peaceful and contemplative. Fishing, especially with artificial bait like the jig bait shown here, is very meditative for me because of the repetitive castingContinue reading “Sunset Fishing”
No, But It Kinda Looks Like A Gator
I love the contrast of nature and the encroachment of man in this one I took, while fishing in northeast Florida. Unfiltered (as nearly all my photos are), the possible gator is actually part of a fallen tree reflecting in the water. Thus, paying homage to two Florida icons, the hurricane and the gator. WasContinue reading “No, But It Kinda Looks Like A Gator”

Zen Tree
Looking at this tree puts me in a zen mood. I don’t know about you, but I find this photo helps me to clear my mind. Much like, “if a tree falls in the woods…” & other similar sayings (yes I know they have a name), this tree helps me clear my mind. If youContinue reading “Zen Tree”
Tranquil Reef Snorkeling
I took this shot in Maui. I find it both tranquil and inspiring, especially the lighting and perspective. Another shot in my personal gallery I find great to picture in my mind’s eye when trying to find peace and balance. What types of places and locations do you like to picture?
California Sunset
My favorite time of day. This is a very peaceful time of day, as the earth shuts down for the day. By the way, no filters used in the picture. Many of you may try to picture a blue sky, or a peaceful lake, when attempting to re-center yourself. Whatever place relaxes you will work.Continue reading “California Sunset”
