Training Day
An image is of a man and his best girl named Summit. This was her first time jumping off the pontoon to retrieve her favorite toy and my cousin, Tim wouldn’t allow her to swim on her own until she was ready! So, he jumped in grabbed the other end of the toy and they both Doggie paddled to the boat.

Wishes or Weeds?
This image reminded me of my childhood and every time I saw a Dandelion, I would pick it and make a wish. So, in this image, I see wishes and choose to hold on to my innocent belief that they are not weeds but wishes delivered to the Universe via a simple breeze. Next time you see a Dandelion, stop, pick it, and make your wish! Only true believers will see their wishes materialize! Today I wish for peace and equality for all.

Skeleton Rafters- 16×20 simple black matt and frame
As the wood rafters decay, they provide a source of life for future plants to grow on. Mother Nature has been working hard to eliminate the man-made structure but it’s not going down without a fight. Awe-inspiring to see nature reclaiming Her space that humans abandoned a long time ago. My eye immediately caught sight of the lime green moss, but when I approached to get a closer look, I was surprised that the nails were still intact, standing the test of time.
Pallet Mountain was picked from a field 890 of images by 144 photographers, only 96 images were selected.

Pallet Mountain- IMAGE
My soul was itching to get out and wonder; but instead of looking to the natural landscape, a nudge from the universe to photograph industrial landscapes. I Waited to bring attention to human consumption and waste of our natural resources. What is man trying to do here? Create a mountain for the gods of trash? Paying respect to Mother Nature trying to recycle what was taken from her? What do you see?

image selected- Campering Life
Campering life is to be out in nature recharging your soul appreciating the simple pleasures that life gives you. Make sure the paths you take in life have dirt, grass, rocks, and mud. The quote below speaks to me. Now I see the secret of making the best person, it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth. By Walt Whitman.
The image I chose was conjoined twins- a two-headed Tulip I captured and my Brother’s house a few years back.

Red Farm Landscaped in Corn
Heading south on Wisconsin’s highway 35 I explored the Driftless area (definition-having no aim or direction: free from glacial drift a section driftless except for loess deposits). Highway 35 winds along the Mississippi River following its path south. I made it to Alma and headed back north on county roads like I, KK, and 25 which snaked through the Driftless area hills and valleys. I explored this region capturing the farm life landscapes from corn crops to cattle grazing in the fields as my soul recharged from the stresses of my work week. I love to get lost on country roads and just absorb the scenery like a sponge.
Farming is not just for growing crops; it is for the cultivation… of human beings! – Masanobu Fukuoka. I admire those who choose the greater good and create nourishment for everyone to enjoy. In conclusion, I was humbled by all the hard work the farmer put into his field and blessed to be able to capture such a picturesque scene which reminded me of a Folk-art painting.
It is a creative process; we must first plant the seeds and nurture them along the way to ensure their full growth, as they will in turn provide us with nourishment, which is essential not just for survival but for success.

About Danger:
I found this sign walking along Mississippi River Road in Saint Paul; I found this sign warning me of the appending Danger of the cliff’s edge. This sign defines Covid-19 and Civil unrest and now attacks Women’s right to choose. We are entering dangerous times and need to stand up for all Equality.
