  WINDOWL by tkrosevear

  I posted a photograph of a Great Horned Owl a few days ago for a challenge, in commentary I asked Way of the Warrior if he could do his ‘magic touch’ on it and the collaboration began… / He did 4 beautiful edits with the 2 photos I sent him and this was my favorite! WindOwl is my ‘handle’, spirit name and who I aspire to be… / The Wind is a force of Nature, air in natural motion – an influential force or trend that touches everything in its path, sometimes a gentle breeze and other times, as a hurricane. / The Owl is a bird of prey, long associated with wisdom and truth, honoring intuition, using discernment, outsmarting deception and trusting first impressions. / Together, my intentions are ultimately aspiring to help others transition and transform into who they aspire to be… The Three Faces of Owl / The wisest of the bird clan, awakening to honor Grandfather Sun – then sleeping, while Mother Nature unleashes her wondrous glory, upon unseeing eyes and broken promises, from the gray matter, we Humans call Truth. Awakening once more to honor Grandmother Moon and discover the darkness is only feared by those afraid of their Self. tkrosevear Thanks to Tony for helping me to re-defining my intentions and Salute the Pack!

  Earth's eye view by tkrosevear

  When I first saw this fractal in apophysis, my first thought was a TREE, so I began to play with it in photoshop, then I was inspired to elaborate in poetry… The Earth, our dear mother must grieve at the sight / of deaths more than plentiful – her creatures in plight Humans in dominion and oh so careless in their ways / as we seek to find riches and the wildlife dearly pays Once vast icy regions melt in warm water and air / while casualties of greed are drowning polar bears The weather, it’s changing as the animals’ tell us so / if you don’t believe them, watch the trees die, not grow When will we learn that without them we’ll die / All words and no action, just constant ‘I’ll try’ Try as you may, to ignore the damage we’ve done / If we kill what is left, they’ll be nowhere to run! The Earth, our dear mother, has grieved long enough / Let’s pull it together – UNITED – it’s really not that tough. tkrosevear 10/10/2008 / /

  Morning Glory by Karön Melillo d'Vega

  i actually have 4 stained glass windows in a row that are on the bedroom wall between the bedroom and the indoor solarium. / They are: Yellow Daffodils, Red Roses, Blue Morning Glorys, Orange Tulips. They are stained glass with the flowers and vines in colours, and the window section is crystalized glass. When the sun shines in through the skylights and ceiling-to-floor windows of the solarium, the refracted sunlight shines through these stained glass windows creating a beautiful effect.

  Diamond Lake Montana by Karön Melillo d'Vega

  high in the mountains of western Montana is this pristine volcanic crater lake teeming with Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and a variety of frogs. / The water is crystal clear mountain spring fed, and icy cold / I took this shot from my canoe.
