It’s funny how nature can come together to create interesting images. This tree, which was already leaning over the water, after a storm with high winds, ended up splitting and falling in, creating a beautiful bridge for the local wildlife.
Read MoreI love being outside when it’s warm, feeling the sun or breeze on my face, smelling the flowers or the ocean depending on where I happen to be. However, in the winter time, I am exactly the opposite, I hate being outside. I don’t care for the cold or snow and choose to spend my
Read MoreThe name Iris relates back to the Greek Goddess Iris, who was the messenger of the Gods. She personified a rainbow acting as a link between heaven and earth.

Read MoreWhen I saw this week’s challenge I instantly thought that the only time that really matters is the present moment. Which in turn brought to mind an image I created last year about being one with the universe. Connecting with the Universe doesn’t require some special tool, knowledge or spiritual practice, it is experienced simply by being
Read MoreI found this broken tree on the grounds of a lovely manor house in England, Croft Castle, when I was there in the summer of 2013. Croft Castle is located near the village of Yarpole in Herefordshire. I don’t know how long it had been lying there, but I thought it created a beautiful rustic image.

Read MoreThe beach is a fun place in the summer whether you are relaxing in the warm sun, cooling off in the water or enjoying all the fun activities from water sports to building sand castles. Whatever it is that takes you there, it is always a busy, exciting place to spend time, with all the
Read MoreWhat does the sea mean to me? Well first and foremost I find being near the sea relaxing and inspirational, however, I also find it intimidating.
