“Celebration” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © A couple of cocktail glasses with a sheet of slumped glass as the background. “Something has aroused me from a deep and peaceful sleep…....I turn my head and peer through half opened eyes / out the curtainless window. A smile slowly spreads as does the sun’s beams across the horizon. Slowly raising myself to my elbow, I drink in the touching rays warmth while silently / toasting in celebration to the birth of a new day.” / ~ Hollyk

“A Touch of Paradise” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © Sunrise in tropical Mission Beach, far north Queensland, Australia. “Flamingos walk, and sway in peace / Seeing this, it makes my troubles cease / The sun is hiding, leaving a pink scar / That stretches right across the sky / Thats all weve seen so far / And all I do is look into your eyes / For that special touch of paradise / Just a touch, a touch of paradise / Just a special touch of paradise / You hold my hand, thats when we kiss / And it doesnt take long no, until I get the gist / Of this love that stretches out across the land / Where rainbows flash, as were walking in the sand / And all I do is look into your eyes / A touch of spring, and autumn sweet / Well the trees vibrate when our eyes meet / And I think of all the love that we have been making / You touch my hand and I walk off shaking / And all I do is look into your eyes.” / ~Ross Wilson and G Smith

“Fern Dance” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © A botanical study of a single fern frond. “Waking, stretching casting off sleep, cocoon of its slumber / awakening to the dawn of spring, new life in the fresh air / breathing in the newness of the spring day opening its wings / to catch the sun, the breeze take its rightful place on the forest floor a bit of beauty rising from the leaf litter bright and green majestic in its own way for its time on the stage.” / ~Raymond A. Foss

“Shimmer” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © Sunrise at tropical Mission Beach in far north Queensland, Australia. The Australian Sunrise / “The Morning Star paled slowly, the Cross hung / low to the sea, / And down the shadowy reaches the tide came / swirling free, / The lustrous purple blackness of the soft / Australian night, / Waned in the grey awakening that heralded / the light; / Still in the dying darkness, still in the forest dim, / The pearly dew of the dawning clung to each / giant limb, / Till the sun came up from ocean, red with the / cold sea mist, / And smote on the limestone ridges, and the / shining tree-tops kissed; / Then the fiery Scorpion vanished, the magpie’s / note was heard, And the wind in the sheoak / wavered and the honeysuckles stirred; / The airy golden vapour rose from the river breast, / The kingfisher came darting out of his / crannied nest, / And the bullrushes and reed-beds put off their / sallow grey / And burnt with cloudy crimson at the dawning / of the day.” / ~James Lister Cuthbertson

“Chasing Shadows” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © A butterfly enthralled by its shadow. “Leaping ahead of me in the moonlight / My looming shadow takes flight. / Rising like a giant, it runs ahead of me / I reach out to touch him / then he turn’s and flees. / I run fast to catch him, but he has / disappered, I wonder why he is so scared. / I only want him to come and play / But my little shadow keeps on running away.” / ~Jac D

“Wings of Crystal” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © A dragonfly with outstretched wings resting briefly on a cycad leaf. “Clouds of insects danced and buzzed in the golden autumn light, and the air was full of the piping of the song-birds. Long, glinting dragonflies shot across the path, or hung tremulous with gauzy wings and gleaming bodies.” / ~ Arthur Conan Doyle, Sr.
