“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.” By Rumi I’m not sure I’m ready to embrace this idea yet, only because I am still making excuses for not doing it. My primary excuse is financial. I do have responsibilities and I also fear the resistance … Continue reading Sunday’s Speculations #1: Comfort Zones
Transformations With Life #13 – Bonsai Island on a Coral Reef
This little plant was hard to catch. It was hiding in a dry patch of a massive field of wild flowers. I'm not certain, but it might be a baby smoke bush. There are some bigger trees with similar leaves nearby, or maybe they are overgrown bushes. Anyway, they are growing wild in this field. … Continue reading Transformations With Life #13 – Bonsai Island on a Coral Reef

Clutter or Opportunity? I know what I’m choosing!
It's been a busy year for creative outputs and there's no slowdown ahead. There's also been a lot of self-awareness learning going on around here lately. Amazingly, a lot of it revolves around the benefits of a more decluttered life. So, we've been contemplating the pros and cons of what to do with all our … Continue reading Clutter or Opportunity? I know what I’m choosing!
Deep, Philosophical Sadness
The sadness is mostly in the eyes for this guy, and maybe I took the easy road to connecting the feeling of his being philosophical, because of the beard. The funny thing is that the image that inspired this one was most definitely not Sophocles. Regardless of the source material, something inside me was coming … Continue reading Deep, Philosophical Sadness
Contemplating A Darkness
Something deliciously evil just came over this guy's mind and we are witnessing the beginning of the smile of awareness, as well as the subtle shadow that is growing from the right side of his face. He is looking right at you with a secret knowing. What did you ask him to get this look? … Continue reading Contemplating A Darkness
Vibrant Galaxies
A different perspective on the Tethered Biospheres photo. Perhaps I've been watching too much Star Trek lately, but it does look like those galaxies they are always encountering. The mysterious nebulas. I simply hyper saturated the colours and the extra luminescence appeared. My imaginations flew me through this wonderful vision of outer space. For more … Continue reading Vibrant Galaxies
Tethered Biospheres
Can you picture a futuristic cityscape, where the communities are vast biospheres floating in the sky and tethered to the earth? That's what I saw when I crouched down into the buggy grasses and looked across this field. Perhaps these are the skeletal remains of one off these fantasy world-scapes. For more of my photo … Continue reading Tethered Biospheres
Sunset Time
I am simply fascinated by this plant. The intricately interwoven filaments that form a nearly perfect sphere are gorgeous. I zoomed in and focused on the sphere itself, contrasting out the greenery behind it. The final effect was that it appeared as if the setting sun was illuminating it. I fond it beautiful! For more … Continue reading Sunset Time
Ready To Launch
This is the final edit that hit an interesting detour in the form of "Mother Nature's Fireworks". From far, these plants seem dead, but up close we see intelligent life in the fine details of the construction. Each seed pod is attached to the finest web of silky tendrils that will allow it to float … Continue reading Ready To Launch
