“Impact Zone” You think you’re sitting / outside the break, / When here comes a wave / you’re not going to make. / Along the horizon / a darkened blue, / must start the scramble / arms digging deep too. / It breaks before you / with a crack and a peel, / a smile on your face / life is surreal. / Waves are breaking / on top of your head, / a mountain of water / is now what you dread. / Whitewater comes, / it hits like a brick, / white and foamy, / a turbulent thick. / Waves keep on comming, / three , four, and five, / You think to yourself, / just one more duck dive. / And when you think / you that got your breath, / the ocean pushes / you down to new depths. / Waves back off / you’re stuck in the foam. / Welcome to / the / Impact Zone By: Andy Harney
The Young Bird Catcher / A six-year old boy that can catch a bird for his meal.
Chanced upon this scene when walking in the country and captured the image as swiftly as I could. Dates from the 1960s but some have claimed it is timeless. An American lady was inspired to write a poem about this – a lovely piece which I intend to add here.
My friend Kenrick Rampial gave me permission to draw this from a photo he has on his profile page i saw it and just wanted to draw it…..........So if any of you out there have any requests let me know i do normally only draw animals though but hey what you think?
In this watercolor we’re not sure whether this is a game of Hide N’ Seek, a young boy plotting some mischief, or hiding because he’s already created some.
i took this photo in the north of cambodia .Ratanakari province. in a small waterfall where these kids were having big fun. The boy in the photo stopped and started looking at his feet. All work posted may not be used, replicated, manipulated, redistributed, or modified without my express consent.

FEATURED in the “OUT OF THE BLUE” GROUP / FEATURED in ‘ANIMAL FANTASY COMPOSITES” STELLER’S JAY / Recognition: / One of the most striking features of British Columbia’s official bird, is its crest and vibrant blue and black color. The Steller’s Jay SHAACK! SHAACK! cry is a familiar sound to visitors of British Columbia’s provincial and national parks. / However this great mimic can fool the most avid birder with its mixed bag of voices that includes everything from hawk calls to warblings of other song birds. Haunts: / The Steller’s Jay is found throughout British Columbia’s dense coniferous forests During the summer months it seems especially bold and is often seen around picnic sites and campgrounds. In winter it seeks out more promising food sources in the mixed forests and backyard gardens. Schedule: / A year around resident, however, each fall there is a distinct movement which brings considerable numbers of Steller’s Jays down to valley bottoms. Field Notes: / Steller’s Jay is named after George Wilhelm Steller, a German naturalist who made exploratory voyage in the north Pacific in the early 1700s. However if the Steller’s Jay had been named for its behavior it could have easily been called the “Investment Bird”, because of it habit of taking food and storing it elsewhere for future use. And like any good investor it doesn’t put all its “cash” into one area. These perky jays certainly provide us a great deal of pleasure in observing their antics and listening to their bright chatter.

Humpback whale breaching in the fabulous, rich whale feeding grounds of Frederick Sound/Stephen’s Passage near Petersburg, Alaska, USA. Petersburg is situated on Mitkof Island in Alaska’s Inside Passage. While humpbacks collect barnacles by the ton, this particular cetacean sported the most barnacles I’ve ever seen on a humpback whale. This particular humpback whale breached continuously for 50 minutes! No doubt there was some reason for this amazing expenditure of energy but it just plain looked as if this whale was having fun. Gads, I love Alaska! Surely this is God’s country. Canon 40D, Canon 10-400mm lens, shutter 1/1250, f/11.0, focal length 235mm, ISO 400, handheld. August 13, 2009
Bocas del Toro in Caribbean Panama with starfish and a boy in a kayak. The starfish are common there but the boy paddling past was a lucky break! Thank you for all the comments. They are all much appreciated.
My son, Warrick. This portrait was taken in natural light, and converted to sepia in photoshop, where I made a duplicate layer, added the crosshatch filter, overlayed it and adjusted the opacity in order to create the tone I wanted. FEATURED in Dimensions and British Portrait Artists
For our final school exhibit we were given the theme “My Space”. I decided to make it “My Space Inavsion” for my personal theme. I then took portrait shots of all the people who have invaded my space both positively and negatively. They are then displayed in a space along with and empty bird cage with its door open, a body cast with the freed bird on its finger and then the portraits (A4) all displayed around the space individually. Then the idea is that when you enter the space to view the exhibit, you invade my space with your presence. It also goes that my art, is my space, it frees my spirit ( like the bird) and allows me to be me in my space… These aren’t all the portraits as there are over 30 potraits and the collage would be weird with all of them. The extent of your consciousness is limited only by your ability to love and to embrace with your love the space around you, and all it contains. Napoleon Bonaparte Featured In Collective Collage
