Looking West from my backyard. All the trees are homes for the many birds that fly by, singing and chasing bugs. We have water and bird food scattered about. Our Crow friends Rufus and Festus are nesting and soon we will see their new addition. That will be nice!…”Camera Obscura” Series

If the Moon has the ability, the power to move entire Oceans: to create tides -- just imagine the power it has to affect our bodies which is 50% to 75% water. No wonder our ancient families had great respect for the Full Moon. By creating positive rituals during the fullness of the Moon we can create a positive fullness within ourselves…”Earth” Series

This is Festus the crow. Festus and Rufus have been our friends.  They are life long partners and we have been talking to them and feeding them treats for years. I have been talking to Crows for many years. I can imitated their calls and often we caw back and forth. What fun! We enjoy our relationships with animals and especially these highly intelligent birds…’Camera Obscura’ Series

Painting landscapes usually reflect a mood. This landscape was about color, having fun with color and minor on detail. I recommend to just have fun with painting. It is your world to live in for a short time!…’Landscape’ Series

 An Artistic story...The Suns rays falling upon a forest

I took a picture of an old dried cut on a tree. I saw something initially but did not know what it was that caught my attention. I had to discover what was the attraction because it called to me, looking at me and asking to be seen…’Noir’ Series

My lens fell out off the Camera Obscura as I was taking a picture of the Daffodils that are in full bloom in our region. I like the 3d effect and the brightness of the colors on the screen and along the inside of the box. I thought I would share…’Camera Obscura’ Series
