The Greeks believed that a new human soul was born each time an adult butterfly emerged from its cocoon. Butterflies have been used by the Chinese and Japanese cultures for centuries as symbols of joy and the essence of happiness. Both cultures have added them to manuscripts, paintings and drawings for centuries. Early Europeans believed that the human soul took the form of a butterfly so, they viewed the butterfly with great respect and often with fear. Northern Europeans throught that dreams were the result of the soul-butterfly’s wanderings through other worlds. In southern Germany, some say the dead are reborn as children who fly about as butterflies, resulting in the belief that they bring children. The Irish believe that butterflies are the souls of the dead waiting to pass through purgatory. Native American Indian legends told that butterflies would carry the wishes to the Great Spirit in heaven to be granted. Shoshone Indians believed that butterfles were originally pebbles, into which the Great Spirit blew the precious breath of life. Native American Zuni tribes believed that butterfles could predict the weather. The Zuni also believed that the white butterfly predicts the beginning of summer. The Blackfeet Indians believe that dreams are brought to us in sleep by a butterfly. The butterfly is a symbol of the fertility of the earth among some tribes of Mexico. Born out of the caterpillar in the chrysalis, butterflies were a symbol of rebirth, regeneration, happiness, and joy to Native Americans in Mexico. The Maya looked upon butterflies also as the spirits of dead warriors in disguise descending to earth. A dying man in the Solomon Islands has a choice as to what he will become at death and often chooses a butterfly. Among the Nagas of Assam the dead are believed to go through a series of transformations in the underworld and are finally reborn as butterflies. When the butterfly dies, that is the end of the soul forever. The Aztecs believed that the happy dead in the form of beautiful butterflies would visit their relatives to assure them that all was well. These butterflies flew around the house and around bouquets of flowers which were carried by Aztec men of social rank. Metamorphosis of butterflies and moths is one of the mysteries of Nature. The ability of these insects to change from the crawling caterpillar to the flying adult is almost magical. Many people are so awe inspired by the metamorphosis that they believe that butterflies and moths could never have evolved over millions of years without a God behind it. The night butterfly [the moth] attracted by the flame, like the soul attracted by heavenly truths, burns in the flame, reflection of the trials that must be endured to eliminate the fleshy sink-stones before knowing the joys of the beyond. / from Unsolved Mysteries

In the old legends and stories told to me, the faces of winter were of ice, cold and snow. Cold was always the largest face of winter and could be the most dangerous. When I heard the story, it was always on a cold and blustery night, next to the fireside all wrapped in blankets. I’m not sure if the stories were for my comfort or my Grandmother’s. :o) Created in Fractal Explorer and Photoshop. Image taken from a picture of a statue I took. Five layers and the use of AutoFX Mystical Lights for the misty look and Flaming Pear for the ice below. This was inspired by a comment my honey made about seeing a woman in the trees of my fractal. You can guess which part yourself. ;o) Camera used for the statue: Canon PowerShot SX10IS at Huntington Library Gardens, San Marino, CA, USA Featured in: / A Fractal a Day Keeps the Doctor Away!

Another collage made with fractalets created in Apo 2.08 3D Hack. The pyramid itself is one fractal. The landscape (flower things) and the artifacts and detail items inside the pyramid are separate individual fractals. You need to view this on full size to see things well. The moon and sky are from photos of a sunset I took around my home and fiddled with in Photoshop. The bright crescent part of the moon is the photo, the back end of the moon was created in Photoshop.

Just a fun one for all you Incendia junkies. The three cars represents the three versions, with the last car having the most in it representing the 1.3 version soon to be unleashed. The three cars were separate renderings linked together in CS3. I also added the background in CS3 from a photo I took here in Arizona. The star are appropriate since this software is rich with features to allow your imagination to run wild. / / / Hope you like!

As a child, I had an active imagination. See? Nothing has changed much in that area. :o) I would see things in the mists or shadows. My father would willingly stop along a road or a pass to check out what I thought I saw. I think just to find out for his own curiosity more than anything else. Many times, I would see brushes in the coming snowstorm and think they were coyotes or wolves howling. Or a small dog along the road, that turned out to be a small red fox. This is one of the images in my head that came to life when I saw a fractal image that had to be transformed. :o) Created in Incendia for the brush and maybe wolves (?) in front. Photoshop for the painting of the snow, ice, snow clouds rolling in from the mountains. Contrast and Saturation for a small amount of color.

Eleven is cool, but this one got the twelfth! All objects were created using Incendia and then blended and merged with Redfield’s Water Ripples, layering upon layering to give the sense of Rosie the Octopus emerging from deep under the water…. to give this rose to you! I worked on this one all week and then, when finally trying to save… well.. I ended up with 67 megapixel blue screen!! So… alas had to try try again… lol! (I’m thinking that trying to do a thirteenth rose might not be a very good idea…..)
Thank you ever so kindly for visiting my gallery, leaving such wonderful comments, adding my images to your favorites, and even adding me to you watch list. YAY! It means so much to be to be able to create something you may enjoy. Plus I love being able to meet new artist and view art through another one’s eye. It is so much fun and relaxing viewing so many stunning creations and meeting new friends. / I hope you enjoy “Moments in Peace”.. Made with Ultra Fractal and with a few “Moments in Peace”. / All sales are will be given to Philadelphia Mission for children of Africa who need what ills them, Poor babies. Ahh… those ” Moments in Peace”, I love these times. When I can just let my body go. I had EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy (http://www.emdr.com/briefdes.htm) a few years ago . It was so interesting and healing that I thought I’d share my “ Moments in Peace”. Well during the treatment you go through a relaxing session state of sort, ( a safe spot) in which I let all my muscles in your body relax and just fall to floor. I put my mind in a safe place which was in my favorite tree in the forest. I would followed a light with my eyes back and forth. I started to daydream about wonderful relaxing things and places for me. At times my mind would wander but that was normal. It was my first session learning to breath and just thinking about relaxing with “Moments of Peace.” In mind. I finished my treatment and went on home thinking nothing of the session accept that it was fun to go in my safe place and relax in my therapy session instead of something intense…hee hee who wants to work all the time….tee hee. I having being reminded that later in the day I may feel a little tired from the EMDR therapy. I hope to find the words to express just what happened next. About two hours after I was home I got a little tried not much. I felt my muscles stating to relax and I had this soothingly peaceful grin. Me with a peaceful grin????that was an odd thing for myself at the time. I enjoyed it. It felt so good to just smile. Now If you take one “Moment in Peace” and times it by a million, this is how I began to feel. This feeling never happen in my life, not any time in my life before. I thought it odd. So I paid close attention to my body and thoughts. Before long my whole body just starting shrinking and fading away from my bones like in a floating state. My muscles just sank below my bones and skin. I felt my mussels loosen up even more. I remember standing by the refrigerator when I took notice that every muscle in my body was literately dripping from my bones. I could feel this in my body throughout. I had to laugh with joy. It felt so neat just dripping from my bones. It was so awesome. When I moved my mussels just floated behind be of sort. It was like no other thing I ever experience. I could not believe how relaxed and peaceful I felt. It was almost scary but I had to pay attention to this great feeling. I wanted more. I went throughout the day with a sort of relaxing peaceful euphoria. La la la la lalaa… And that now my new friends was my day with many “Moments of Peace”. I try to put myself in this state again by doing EMDR myself once I had learned it. Never was I able to get this comfortable again. However I am not giving up. Now I know how relaxed I can be by just trying to and wanting too. It will happen. I’ve been close but never was I to get my mussel to drip from my bones again. However I’ve come close. / This image reminded me about how I felt floating above my mussels in a beautiful state of peacefulness. I hope this image gives you some “Moments in Peace” Resources:. http://www.emdr.com/briefdes.htm For the Treatment of Patients with Acute Stress / Disorder and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)1 is a comprehensive, integrative psychotherapy approach. It contains elements of many effective psychotherapies in structured protocols that are designed to maximize treatment effects. These include psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, experiential, and body-centered therapies2. EMDR is an Information processing therapy and uses an eight phase approach to address the experiential contributors of a wide range of pathologies. It attends to the past experiences that have set the groundwork for pathology, the current situations that trigger dysfunctional emotions, beliefs and sensations, and the positive experience needed to enhance future adaptive behaviors and mental health. / During treatment various procedures and protocols are used to address the entire clinical picture. One of the procedural elements is “dual stimulation” using either bilateral eye movements, tones or taps. During the reprocessing phases the client attends momentarily to past memories, present triggers, or anticipated future experiences while simultaneously focusing on a set of external stimulus. During that time, clients generally experience the emergence of insight, changes in memories, or new associations. The clinician assists the client to focus on appropriate material before initiation of each subsequent set. / ~ / Good Day Good People, / Therese

I remember as a kid, visiting my grandparents in the South. Being from Wyoming, I loved seeing the fireflies come out at night. My uncle was only four years older than I was so we would have great fun chasing and capturing the fireflies in a jar.
