‘Thunderbird’ is from a petroglyph in Iowa depicting the supernatural being know to many tribes. Some believed him to cause thunderstorms, and for some he was a guardian spirit. Thunderbird is also known as the Sacred Bearer of Happiness. I am making a sincere effort to present these designs as they originally appeared, with a wee bit of stylizing on my part. This series of tees is intended to honor the ancient ones and the art they left behind for us.

One early mystic is quoted as saying that we were created from the laughter of the Trinity. I love the idea that the essence of creation—and the life force behind it—is joy. Simply the idea of the expression of laughter combined with omnipotence: This is, to my mind, truly “holy”. / Why these tulips reminded me of this, I can’t really tell you. Perhaps it was the way they echo’d in triplicet one behind another or maybe it was the way their purple and white petals inspired thoughts of majesty and purity. /

I am happy with this shot but It isn’t quite what I was after. I thought it would be cool to get a shot of a power plant with lightning above it. I went down I-29 south of Counsil Bluffs and pulled of on a side road near the power plants. What I didn’t realize was the corn was six feet tall and completely blocking my view of the power plant!!! I should have known, growing up in Nebraska, but I thought I was just much shorter when I lived here before. Any way I put my tri-pod on the roof of my jeep and climbed up. I had a great view of the plant and the sky but very quickly realized I didn’t want to die trying to get this shot. I got down pretty quick and set up on the road. The Interstate was just far enough away to lite up the corn. The power plant made a nice glow under the clouds. So, as it often is, after all my plains went to to crap, I got a lucky and ended up with this.
