Heart Shapes in Nature is an ongoing photographic series available as 12 and 18 month calendars.
Falsehoods, hatred, and destruction will never win over love and creativity. Gandhi said (paraphrase) there will always be tyrants, but hatred is temporary. Love is infinite.
Wishing good-natured spirits to all, and happy holy days no matter what your faith!

Song and Dance
Thursday, December 20th, 2007
Alright, three or more consitutute a new photographic series: Roots Garden Sculptures. This one I see as Song and Dance, of Basil roots and stems. It was peeking out of the lawn and garden litter bag and almost made it to the curb without notice. The first three root systems, now garden sculptures, were compelling enough alone to catch my attention, but now I’m going to consciously seek them out.
Some things are Art without any manipulation at all. Sort of the roots of creativity too really: finding something beyond that which is in front of you. Seeing. Transformation. It doesn’t matter what the medium is..

Mackeral Sky

November 17, 6:55 a.m.
Almost every evening year-round I’m drawn outdoors by the change in lighting, just before sunset. Called Mackeral Sky, stripes and mottled cloud formations like this precede a cold front, and occur during any time of day, but are most dramatic during sunrise and sunset.

Bearded Iris
Sunday, December 16th, 2007
We had our first light frost last night, but the Iris live on! I grew up in a place where winter meant winter, and the lake stayed frozen until mid-June, so there isn’t a day goes by that I don’t appreciate Iris still blooming on the 17th of December. This photo was taken on the 4th, blooming sporadically since then.
Christmas Canna

The Canna Lilies have been much healthier in the cooler weather than they were during the summer, when they’re supposed to bloom… a little raggedy, but they shouldn’t even have leaves at this time of year!
Pretty Lady
Friday, December 14th, 2007
So many chores at home preparing for the holidays pull me away from typical Art work, but that doesn’t stop the old eyes from seeing things! Transplanting things from the garden, shaking soil from dead plants, the root systems are very interesting. I call this one “Pretty Lady”. This one is also from a dead Croton – one was posted earlier from a more mature plant.
In from the cold…
