Nature, the best sculpture
I was at a bird sanctuary in Key Largo recently. The facilities are very rustic and offers a nice boardwalk leading from the parking area out to the water to the west. Along the path are aviaries housing injured or rehabbed birds in large screened areas. As we were walking along the path we came…
Meet Mugsy, a working Mule
Mid January Jo, my wife, and I attended the annual Evans-71 high school bonfire at the ranch of one of Jo’s classmates in Howey-in-the- Hills, FL. The bonfire has become an annual event so that the alumni of Evans High School, Orlando, can have a good excuse to get together to burn some firewood, eat delicious food, talk about guns, and enjoy catching up with each other. Liz, a schoolmate, and husband own the ranch where the bonfire is hosted.

Stairway to heaven was a photograph taken on a trip to St. Augustine a while back. My wife,Jo, and I were climbing the stairs of the old lighthouse when this image jumped out and demanded to be captured. This final image is a pencil drawing rendered from the photo using a process called Dynamic Auto Paint…

Most of the time the pictures stand on their own and are presented on web sites, prints in frames, collages, enlarged prints in exotic frames, videos, or several other…

The Saint Augustine Lighthouse is a fairly tall building. Below is an art rendered view up the stairs to the top of the lighthouse. I took this in July 2010 during our 37th anniversary. More later.
