if you find yourself wandering a down slope of madrone and oaks on a hot summer day— you might get to witness the spontaneous combustion-like moment of the madrones “peeling”!  it is amazing!!!

she is taking up all the space isnt’t she…it is the natural space…why not. enjoy her expansive grounding nature… the tatoos?….

natural space photos…in my bedroom

my current bedroom/studio in west marin with my photos adorning the walls… for this photo shoot i was playing with groups of photos…i love them in groups. and they change groups. these two photos were taken on a beach on the big island of hawaii, barely a crescent moon of sand— surrounded, nearly enveloped by these wild elongated trees and huge branches. (big island spirits: left photo: beach hwy pole 69.1,  right photo: beach hwy. pole 69.2)(the hawaiian tree spirits are very present in both of these photographs and you can actually see them on the large prints!

nature iphoneography: mystery — (part two)

mystery — (part two)
the iphone camera relationship allows mystery— this is especially wonderful…you never ever know who will show up as you wander through nature…usually it will be exactly who you really need to be there with you at the time for a lovely healing you never expected or even thought you needed…and lots of times i don’t even see who was really there until i get home to my laptop and download my new friends…and finally SEE, oh it was YOU!!!
soo much gratitude tends to flow in in these moments, flowing creativity, connection, love!
