exploring nature’s infinite connections
I could be a tree. What would be in it for me? I could rest all winter long, awakening to bird song. Spring brings renewal, fresh and awake I could have a nice spot, maybe near a lake As I get a bit taller and the world a little smaller My universe less focused on...
Cleaning up old images and deciding if I want to keep them around on my site seems to be a never-ending chore. This may have been one of the very first sunrise photos I was ever happy with back then. From my database notes, it was originally exposed on Oct 1, 1997,...
Fifty-thousand watts! That is an amount of power that I typically only associate with some warning on a big red sign at an electrical plant or the laboratory of Dr. Frankenstein. Yet, on a regular basis, I now see it on the dashboard of my car. Only I am not trying to...
