What Oak leaves in Texas do in January
Thursday, January 10th, 2008
During the Christmas season the Oak leaves on the tree in our front yard were bright orange-red, and have only dropped during the past two days, whereas other years they would have fallen mid-December. While raking yesterday, the proudest of all begged for portraits!

Sky Diver- Basil stem and roots (this is the last of the root-sculptures for a while I think) – this one has a thick stem, removed with PaintShop Pro.

Heart Shapes in Nature series

Heart Shapes in Nature is an ongoing photographic series. Love is infinite. Wishing happy holidays no matter what your faith, and Merry Christmas!
Song and Dance
Thursday, December 20th, 2007
Alright, three or more constitute a new photographic series: am calling this one 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. The roots of creativity too, really.

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
Saturday, December 15th, 2007
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!
