Ecce Panis Angelorum which translates from Latin to mean “Behold the Bread of Angels” is taken from “Lauda Sion” written by St. Thomas Aquinas before the year 1274. These words from that hymn are above the main altar of the St. Louis Cathedral in New Orleans, Louisiana. Although most of that city was devastated during Hurricane Katrina two years ago, the Cathedral escaped harm and it is as beautiful as it ever was. I took this picture of the main altar on Sunday, September 16, 2007.

This simple t-shirt is comprised of letters filled with different patterns in the natural world. Whether it is the patterns in the giraffe’s hide, the asymmetry of raindrops on an aspen leaf, the round almost perfect shapes of beach stones, the translucent greens of swaying cattails, the sharp diagonal lines of the cactus spines, or the abstract reflections of winter twilight, nature is comprise of an endless canvas of colors and critters that make earth an exciting and wonderful place to live! Shouldn’t we as stewards of this planet’s natural resources cherish these oldest of priceless and irreplaceable traesures? 100% of proceeds from the sale of this t-shirt and it’s accompanying cards and prints will be donated to The Nature Conservancy

Arkansas Wild Native Orchid ORCHID FAMILY Lady’s slippers are a genus, Cypripedium, of flowers belonging to the orchid family, Orchidaceae, and distinguished by their slipper-shaped pouches (modified labellums), which function by trapping insects so that they are forced to climb up past the staminode, behind which they collect or deposit pollinia. / Ladies Slipper, also called Indian Moccasin / The lady’s slipper is known in the United States of America as the moccasin flower, from its resemblance to a shoe or moccasin. These gorgeous Orchids take 7 years from seed to bloom. / Because of logging, and population these flowers are loosing ground fast, and are at the brink of extinction! / Most are found only in protected areas, and in national forest. This one is preserved on a 10 acre plot of rich forest land I purchased in 1993 just for the preservation of its flora, and fauna. / / Never, ever pick one if you do see it in the wild, and never try to transplant it. It most suredly will die!! Blooms mid-spring in NW Arkansas, approx bloom size 2 inches from top to bottom, and the entire plant is around 12 inches tall.

The Arches National Park, Utah preserves over 2,000 natural sandstone arches. Delicate Arch is one of the most spectacular sights the Park has to offer. Enjoy the short adventure hike to the Arch before it is claimed by forces that will eventually destroy all arches in the park: Gravity and erosion. It is one of the most beautiful Arches you will ever see. / / Poster / / / Please note: RedBubble automatically re-sharpens and adds contrast to uploaded images for web display.

Fall Creek Gorge Nature Preserve near Attica, Indiana Around the corner from the tributary stream, you immediately come to the “pothole” section of the gorge. The action of the water along this narrow stream bed has formed these small basins, nicknamed “potholes”. They range in size from 1 foot to more than 6 feet across and are as much as 4 – 5 feet deep. This was actually as far as I could get going up stream without literally going for a swim. With the air temp at 50 degrees F and the water even colder, I decided to take the high road along the cliff after taking a couple of shots here.

Fall Creek Gorge Nature Preserve near Attica, Indiana OK… So once I was able to drag myself away from the waterfall, I started walking down the river bed back toward the potholes. It was pretty flat for a while, although you really had to watch where you stepped as even in this area, there were places that went from being very shallow to well over the top of my boots very quickly. Needless to say, I didn’t leave dry!! After rounding a couple of bends in the river, I came back to the area above the potholes and found this section of the river bed that was carved out. This channel was about 2 feet deep.

Fall Creek Gorge Nature Preserve near Attica, Indiana This is a view of the potholes area looking downstream. The large rock cliff right in the center of this picture is right at the bottom of the path from the parking lot. However, as I still didn’t want to take a swim, I would have to go back to the waterfall to take the cliff top path back to my car.

Ready to Mature Arkansas Native Herb, Golden Seal, protected in my garden. / This herb is in danger, and it is disappearing fast in the Arkansas forest. Its sad to see that it one day soon, will only exist in the national forest. So anytime I see Golden Seal that has/or is loosing its habitat. / I dig it, and transplant it in my yard. It’s a simple beauty, and a small herb, but it has great medicinal values. The real sad thing is, I could be fined for saving it, / yet the bulldozers can just plow it over with no consequences! What wrong with thaaaat picture??? ,;O) Photo taken in my personal nature preserve, and natural area Golden Seal, / Just sprouting with its fruit, and seed already to grow to its maturity…. / Arkansas Native Woodland Medicinal Herb…. / The stem is purplish and hairy above ground and yellow below ground where it connects to the yellow rhizome. The plant bears 2 palmate, hairy leaves with 5-7 double-toothed lobes and single, small, inconspicuous flowers with greenish white stamens in the late spring. It bears a single berry like a large raspberry with 10-30 seeds in the summer. Goldenseal is often used as a multi-purpose remedy, having many different medicinal properties. In addition to working as a topical antimicrobial, it can also be taken internally as a digestion aid, and can remove canker sores when gargled with. Goldenseal may be purchased in salve, tablet, tincture form, or as a bulk powder. Goldenseal is often used to boost the medicinal effects of other herbs it is blended or formulated with. / / ANOTHER WOODLAND PLANT / / The tiny apple is already forming in the bloom. The fruit is also known as May Apple, Mandrake is a native Wild Flower in the Arkansas Forest….plants, and herbs that are endangered by deforeststation, clear cut logging, and a vast population moving to the country, and cutting down everything in sight to have that (SO CALL) pristine grass yard!!!! / / Podophyllum peltatum (the mayapple) is a herbaceous perennial plant in the family Berberidaceae, native to the eastern part of North America. The stems grow to 30-40 cm tall, with palmately lobed leaves up to 20-30 cm diameter with 5-9 deeply cut lobes. The plant produces two growth forms. The ones with a single umbrella-like leaf do not produce any flower or fruit. The plants having a twin leaf (rarely three-leaf) structure, however, bear a single white flower 3-5 cm diameter with six (rarely up to nine) petals, between the two leaves; this matures into a yellow-greenish fruit 2-5 cm long. The plant appears in colonies in open woodlands. Individual shoots are often connected by systems of thick tubers and rhizomes. Despite the common name mayapple, it is the flower that appears in early May, not the “apple”, which appears later during the summer. The Mayapple is also called the Hogapple, Indian apple, Umbrella plant (shape of the leaves), Wild lemon (flavor of the fruit), Wild mandrake, American mandrake (shape of rhizomes) or “devil’s apple”.

An HDR created with one exposure and edited and processed using the program Topaz Adjust…. The wetlands at Bolsa Chica is one of my favorite places to go to take pictures of the vast variety of shorebirds and other avian delights…this image features the bridge that spans across the wetland waters. There are a few other like-minded photographers present this day on the bridge. There are many paths to explore once you have crossed over the bridge and so many different species of lovely birds to be found..along with wildflowers, other animal life such as rabbits…coyotes….and more…located on Pacfic Coast Highway in Huntington Beach, California across the highway from Bolsa Chica State Beach.
