Oil on Canvas The Wu Shen Fairy Series is based on a famous Chinese legend about Wu Shan (Wu Mountain), located at the traditional eastern border of China’s Sichuan Provence on the Yangtze river. This area is popularly known today as the “Three Georges” and is the site of the world’s largest dam for flood control and power generation. As with many legends and fables a number of variations exist. Only a brief summary of the fairy story is described here. Since humans dwelled in China rivers and floods carved history into the mountains, shaped the lives of humans and affected the course of human events. Farmers need rivers to nourish their crops for bountiful yields but nature also wrecks havoc with floods. The struggle with the river that ancient Chinese faced continues in the modern era with the new Three Gorges Dam as the world’s largest construction project. The Chinese poet Lu You also wrote about this area and its fairy stories. / In this context, thousands of years ago the Queen of the West sent her beautiful young daughter Wao Ji and 11 hand maidens to watch over the Jade Pool. These 12 fairies are symbolized by the 12 peaks of the gorge. The lovely Wao Ji wandered and lived among the animals. Eventually she settled in the magnificent beauty of Wu Shan. She observed the suffering of humans caused by the river floods and took pity. Ultimately, she had a rendezvous with Prince Chu and gave him a book describing how to control the river and its floods. / There are many additional details to this epoch not retold here. You can search under “Three Gorges History”, “Wu Shan Mountain” or “Wu Shan Fairy” for the rest of the story. The paintings are the artist’s image of the beautiful fairy goddess and her surroundings.

My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.” ~George Eliot “I sing because I’m happy, / I sing because I’m free, / For His eye is on the sparrow, / And I know He watches me.” / words by Civilla D. Martin, music by Charles H. Gabriel His Eye Is On The Sparrow A fun compilation … still getting the hang of it!! Both images taken with the Nikon D40x, tree with the 18-135mm with the polarizing filter attached, the bird was taken with the 55-200mm lens. I love my birdie shots, but they’re all mostly taken on my boring deck … and I loved this beautiful branch shot I took on Sunday, but by itself … eh?? So the logical thing seemed to be to try to combine the two. Once I started thinking about it, this wonderful old hymn immediately popped into my head!! Hope you enjoy!!!

The water is a mix of salt and fresh water, creating a very interesting environment for Great Blue Herons. I watched this bird for some time, as it fed on very small fish. I loved the bird against the marsh grasses when it decided to move on. The reflection in the tidal pool was definitely a bonus. The image was captured at Campbell River on Vancouver Island, Canada, using a Nikon D700, Nikkor 600 mm lens and 1.4 teleconverter on a Gitzo monopod.
