Standing like a sentinel on guard, this male Coyote in Rocky Mountain National Park glances over his shoulder as he hears something behind him. I managed to captured him when he was prowling around the area for prey, such a gorgeous animal, with the late day sun hitting him perfectly. His eyes are just stunning….. —-—-—-—-—-—-—— See more on my website jdebordphoto.com / All artwork is © John De Bord, All Rights Reserved.

THe reflection in his eyes, are as I photographed him. I was very happy! /
I am always so moved by the beauty of the American Bald Eagle. Nothing compares to the absolute beauty and near “Godliness” of this bird. He is just to me the most absolutely beautiful bird that was ever put on this Earth by our Creator. When I see a Bald Eagle in the wild, it never ceases to take my breath away…
Inspired partly by the work of Cynthia von Buhler. And for the girl who just gets by in life, maybe with just her cat or dog by her side. For the girl who observes, who finds deeper or hidden meaning, sees symbols in life, inspired by dreams..
Encaustic card. / Tools, iron.
The photograph is of a framed card that was gifted to us, years ago. While the saying is Cherokee and we have used this parable with our children, grandchildren, friends and family for years. In fact, my husband and I remind one another, whether we are BEING a bad wolf or a good wolf, while reacting to life’s observances.
oil on canvas – for physics and metaphysics majors, and laymen who enjoy thinking about imponderables. Einstein thought that the universe could be precisely described. His view is on the right. Heisenberg thought that you could never exactly describe the universe, and that in some cases an object could actually exist at two places at the same time. His theory is on the left. Since all is flux, the observer might be impartial, but today he is partial. Like an IMAX theater, if you experience dizziness or nausea, just turn your head and the feeling should subside!

image inspired from the book ‘The North American Indians’ by Paula Richardson Fleming and Judith Luskey,,the original image is called ‘The Last Outpost’ / There he stood, upon his Elders land / his memory awakened, times had changed, / and not for the better, of his people. / Too many deaths / Too many lies / Too many tricks, The lessening of food / The lessening of land / and the lessening of his Nation. / Only his people knew how to live the land, / and only his people knew how to respect it too. Now this time was over / and all that was left / was time to Observe. Painted in Painter x / Thankyou to Gramia97 for the special song Choice, / Paint with all the Colours of the wind
Digital Painting from my original photography Looking for You While on the Island of Granada, I was quite taken with this fellow. He was comfortably positioned to watch everything going on in the neighborhood and seemed to take his job seriously. Perhaps he was watching the children walking along the road on the way home from school? Or perhaps, looking for …..............? / I just love this piece of music, it is hard to sit still when I hear it and I often think of this piece of art when I hear it. Enjoy!
“There are two ways of spreading the LIGHT… / to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” Edith Wharton The above saying has been a ‘mantra’ of mine for quite some time, however today as I was playing with this heARTwork, a burst of energetic LIGHT sparked beneath my feet, lighting me like a Christmas tree, up the chakra channels until I could no longer sit still. Stepping outside, with camera in tow, the most ethereal skyline I have ever seen… If we are to transform the world, we must first transform ourselves… With this insight, my intentions are to provide a melody of opportunities, tools and experiences to assist those seeking the ‘CHANGE’... Change the World

As a personal journey of transformation continues to unfold, this “spinning wheel” that sits in our loft, takes on a whole new meaning as today for the first time I became a silent warrior… In the days of old, we spun sheep’s wool into yarn / to knit and weave for warmth and socks to darn Today, yarns are tales told with deceptive pride / as arrogant greed leads to superiority’s confide Threats full of fear with angry, envious undertones / as regretful voices of ego make sorrowful groans No feelings of inferiority as the truth rings in my ears / as the serenity and silence of light soon appears A benevolent nature to observe becomes a deep strength / as my voice remains silent with the lights’ wavelength A strategy of peace and a nonviolent stance / frustrates the angry opponent in this loving dance Guilt overtakes him, as I spin hopes’ energetic light / as a silent warrior of compassion, I will win this fight. tkrosevear 3/23/2009 The Buddha was the one who turned the wheel of dharma or ‘wheel of law’, in Tibetan tradition it is translated as the ‘wheel of transformation’. The wheels motion is a metaphor for the rapid spiritual change engendered by the teachings of Buddha. The wheel also represents the endless cycle of rebirth or samsara (sanskrit). Interestingly enough, another auspicious symbol of Buddhism – the hub symbolizing moral discipline, which stabilizes the mind and the spokes (usually 8) represent wisdom which is applied to defeat ignorance. The rim represents training in concentration, which holds everything else together. Dharma, literally translated means ‘that which upholds or supports’, while in Buddhist translations it means “higher truth” and/or “the ultimate reality of universe”. / The “WHEEL” in general, is one of the supreme symbols of cosmic momentum – the force that drives the planets and the stars – and of ceaseless change and repitition. Within all cultures, practices and beliefs this symbol is linked to the cycles of manifestation, birth, death and rebirth, the Zodiac, time and human destiny. Spinning Wheel
Here’s another play with Patricia’s eyes…. I know,, it’s been done before but here’s my version ;o)
I think I really outdid myself on this one..not to blown my own trumpet but this one I am so proud of! I was trying to break away from my usual forte of people, pets and landscapes. Nature called me!! Colour pencil on cartridge paper. L K Southward

Does the moon ask the night why / it must give itself to the darkness? / Does the sun beg the earth for its freedom / from the everlasting…
I wrote this a few months ago after banging my head with my fists for answers to unanswerable questions (well, unanswerable, at least from the outside in). / This was my reminder to myself to just STOP. / Look inside. / Breathe. / Rememeber… / you already know everything there is to know – we all do… / the hardest part is the remembering to remember.
