  • This is obviously not an original idea, and I want to thank both ECGardner and Angelique Brunas for their works along these lines that motivated me to explore my own creativity. I hope they do not mind my using their work as a basis for my inspiration, and I am still working to achieve the balance, beauty, and artistry they have exhibited through their respective nature based collages! I will give folks a while to guess what the various panes are comprised of, they should be pretty easy to figure out, later I will insert the proper descriptions of their contents. As always I can not say often enough how wonderful the Redbubble community is and how happy I am to have found it during it’s infancy so that I may grow along with it into a more complete and accomplished artist! / / / / Portfolio Areas / / Tigers / Wildlife / Macro / Landscape / Birds / Abstracts / Cats~wild and domestic

  • Autumn in the Dandenong Ranges. Vic. / thanks for having a look and comments most welcome…Taken at the Alfred Nichols gardens.

  • In Ode, Intimations of Immortality from Reflections of Early Childhood, William Wordswoth wrote: Though nothing can bring back the hour / Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower / We will grieve not, but rather find / Strength in what remains behind. I was reminded of those lines when I saw a single blade of grass that had gone to seed and was blooming deep in the woods. The tiny flowers were a sight to behold.

  • Fall isn’t to be out done by Spring with all the new beginnings and shades of green. For a brief time it bursts into a splendor of warm color just before the dead of Winter.This is the Middle Prong Little River located in the Tremont section of the GSMNP Camera: Canon Rebel Xti… Lens: Canon 28-135mm…. / Focal Length: 44mm… Aperture Priority… / Shutter Speed: 1/2 s… Aperture: f/8… / ISO: 100… Tripod: Bogen…… Bias 0.0 EV… / Filters:Hoya Polarizer… Cable Release… / Format:RAW

  • I took this flower picture in Bellingham, WA, while taking a stroll. /

  • Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.

  • This is a homage to a night i went to in London called Loss; A night of exquisit misery. And that it was. Everyone dressed in victorian mourning wear or just generally elaborately and they cut onions at midnight to make everyone cry. The tables were covered with gothic assortments of fruit, vegetables, dead flowers from Highgate cemetary and chickens feet. There was a skinned cow hoof at the top of the stairs. Someone was dancing with it by the end of the night.

  • Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray. / / Lord Byron (1788-1824)

  • Don’t tell me the sky is the limit, there are footprints on the moon!

  • “There is nothing more astoundingly beautiful than the female form. If we look at the thought of God as an artist. . . and that the artist keeps creating until he finally creates that certain something that he feels is the end all, be all of his creative process, and then stops. . . then we have part of the answer to that question here. God made all of these things – the land, the oceans, the trees, the animals, man. . . then woman. The last thing he made was the woman. Everything that was created contains parts of the previous creation. All leading up to one inescapable conclusion. All parts lead, somehow, to a final. . . and then you stop when you feel you have reached the optimum. The last creation was woman. Something that contained all of the beauties and elements of the creations before it. There has been nothing new since then. So I guess the Artist was happy. . . and then just….stopped. . . feeling that that was the optimum creation. That it couldn’t get any better than that.” - Jeffrey Scott (aka 1019) model: Dana

  • How can it be that we can say so much without words? Madness (from Complete Madness, 1982)

  • The longer we are together, the more we are alike.

  • This is the first age that’s ever paid much attention to the future, which is a little ironic since we may not have one. Arthur C. Clarke (1917 – 2008)

  • What is it that I love about the mountains? Is it the shape, the one I remember I used to draw as a kid, the grandeur on such a scale that easily outsize anything ever made by man, or just the special kind of atmosphere that always seems to linger around these giants. This is a striking mountain. I couldn’t stop looking at it, and just like with a beautiful women, you seem to notice a new set of attractive details with each pass your eyes make. The light was soft, the sun generous but the clouds were restrictive, creating deep, strong and wide shadows. At the end it didn’t matter, only giving the whole sight a rich, painting like quality. Enough talking. Indulging in beauty is a hard job, I know that better than anyone, and the moment is perfect for a rest-stop. The usual muffin and a flat white would give me enough strength to push the release button until the day expires, but where? That’s an easy one – the mountain house on the slopes of the volcano, where else.

  • Beautiful fall colors on this tree at Sugarcreek Reserve, Dayton, Ohio Canon PowerShot A70 / f/3.5 / 1/500 sec. / Fall 2004 © Rachel Stickney 2008

  • Beautiful peacock at the Adelaide Zoo posing for me as I sat on the boardwalk watching. This amazing creature would walk up close, spread the plumage, look straight at me, then walk slowly off. I was privileged to have this happen about six times before others came along and disturbed the bird.

  • I was seldom able to see an opportunity until it had ceased to be one. Mark Twain (1835 –1910)

  • A sunrise of this immense beauty is a true rarity and I am thrilled to be able to share this with the redbubble community! The photo shows the beach in downtown Port Orford, Oregon near our home, with the color-bathed waves of the Pacific rolling ashore and the misted coastal mountains silhouetted against the gorgeous morning sky. The photo is unedited and reflects the intense colors and spectacular scenery exactly as it was witnessed! (Nikon D700, Nikkor DX 18-70 mm f/3.5-4.5 ED Lens, Settings f/4.5, 1/80th, ISO 200, 40 mm)
