I have no fresh art to advertise since returning from Kingston, Ontario… where the fresh dill pickles are plentiful.

 The driver of a semi, Hwy 40 near Nashville, TN

There is a time for work and a time to relax…wow. This truck sharing the road on the way back from North Carolina was not parked…this guy was driving 70 mph down the highway! I’m just back from NC then up to Alberta soon, so no new artwork to post until about the end of July.

 Caterpillar munchings, Canna Lily leaf

Not much artwork to be posted this past week or for the next two weeks because of all the printing and finalizing details for The Majesty of Trees, so I might as well post another link to the website and promote the show one more time.

Meanwhile, taking photos is still a daily activity because there’s always something beautiful somewhere, and it sure is a nice way to take a break..

Please pass the peace

Road Trip!

Skid marks under Hwy 40 overpass, outside of Nashville TN

This photo was taken just outside of Nashville where we stopped to take photos of the trees draped with vines, naturally occurring topiary, amazing – looking like animals and people turned into forest.  Those were cool enough, and the tire skid marks were an extra unexpected find. The photo has been turned into a black and white, then a colored portion from the bottom was superimposed on top of that…my favorite digital trick. Now one last trip for this year, driving to California and the Giant Redwoods – back on the 13th.
