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.

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.

Seeds Planted and Red Farm landscaped in Corn.
My perspective on Nourish:
Seed Planted: Planting seeds and nurturing them, making sure that they grow, is the key to nourishment of one’s mind, body, and soul.
Red Farm landscaped in Corn: As you can see, nurturing and caring for your seeds will ensure that they provide you with nourishment.
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.

Artist Statement: Natalie McGuire
Photozaic Artist
I create multi-sensory wall art that engages your curiosity of what lies beyond; what you see is personal to you. Creating art helps me connect with you, exhibiting my ability to make you feel like you are there with me. They inspire your desire to touch my art, making you try to view it and feel it at the same time. My surroundings play a big role in my photography story. When I am out in nature with my camera, it’s through texture, lines, colors, etc., that I get my inspiration. I primarily use color images to capture the vibrancy of Mother Nature’s glory, but when the mood and setting are just right, I photograph in infrared. This style of photography brings another worldly look, almost a dreamlike state that has a 3D effect.
Come on out and see what new works of art I have and along with that I’m selling infrared matted prints and offering them in simple elegant black frames, and photo cards. These items make great gifts for the upcoming holiday season.
Today at 5 PM Eastern time I will be interviewed by Wil Scott, talking about my photozaics and infrared photography

Back road summer series continues, this weekend I drove around the Hastings Minnesota area capturing the agricultural landscapes. The landscapes offered up simple calming views of the countryside lifestyle. Crops were flourishing while we are experiencing a moderate drought, at least in the areas I was exploring.
