Accepted works of Art are Pine Edged Road and Golden Gate Bridge photozaics
Sometimes the path in life is not clearly defined. The only thing you can do is to breathe deeply, put your faith in the universe, and take the first step. Life’s road will have curves, enjoy them as they will bring you to wonderful places if you surrender. Road trips allow my mind to wander and absorb what Mother Nature shows me. I especially love watching the landscape change from mountains to desert; from city to Rolling country farms; brightly colored flowers to drab gray foggy scenes. All of these are gifts from her, so give thanks. Get out in nature and recharge your soul!
I headed to San Francisco for an art show and decided to give myself a few extras days to explore this great City by the Bay. As the fog lifted, I snapped photos of the various areas in the Marina District. When the fog burnt off, I walked the area again up a long hill to capture this photograph. Nature really makes all these colors work together.
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.
I discovered these weathered floorboards at the old Hamm’s Brewery in Saint Paul as I walked the grounds and explored the exterior of the building. It was exciting to see the contrast of the lines, texture, and contrast in this photo.
Pallet Mountain My soul’s need to wonder led me to wonder about the industrial areas of Minneapolis and Saint Paul wanting to challenge my vision to photograph landscapes that I normally wouldn’t even take a second look at. I viewed this as a man trying to create their mountain. Were they trying to pay their respects to Mother Nature or something more deviant? Danger in the Woods
Danger in the Woods has never looked so inviting but don’t be fooled by its beauty as Danger is not far away. I found this sign warning me of the appending Danger of the cliff’s edge. This sign needs to heed its own message.

about the image: Graffiti artists express their creativity and use this area as a blank canvas; the dilapidated docks and old pillars add character to the scene.

Pallet Mountain
My soul’s need to wonder led me to South Saint Paul Industrial area wanting to capture images that I normally would not photograph. I came upon this trash mountain of old wooden pallets waiting to be recycled into something new.
Waiting for my Love comes from two souls that found each other in human form; spending their days together as one. Until one day she passes on separating them into two. She lays patiently waiting for her true love to join her again.

This sign defines Covid-19 and Civil unrest in 2020. I managed to capture this image walking along Mississippi River Road in Saint Paul; I found this sign warning me of the appending Danger of the cliff’s edge. I think this sign needs to heed its warning.
