How does one begin to describe a body of work? I would have to say I'm probably seen as off-normal to some people. I would take pride in being called that by the ones who would say it or think it. The world, this plane of being, is uneven, but it always seems to allow for the pursuit of that which one finds to be most beautiful.

views i've been witness to (Georgia, Carolina, Virginia)
These first few are of the property in South Carolina my father stewards. It was raining and you can see the water dripping from the foliage. The first building you see is in Virginia, the next one is of an old black church, was not used anymore and, shamefully, was not being taken care of. Next one is a house in S. Carolina where the doctor, in older times lived, historic Claussen house, followed by S. Carolina sunsets, two of Virginia fields, next two of streams in Virginia. Next one is Jefferies Creek flowing through the town I grew up in followed by three of the hollowed forested halls on Dad's property, which were my laboratory growing up.
Next is a horse in Virginia I met on a walk when I worked at the organic farm, next is a wetland in SC kind of hidden down a dirt road, followed by ice crystals growing out of the ground in northern Georgia, two graffiti tags under a bridge in Georgia, followed by the stream running under it, next of a leaf on the Appalachian Trail, most of which can be traced to old trails used by the First Nations of North America.
Nextly, an Oak grove in Virginia (Loudoun) which maybe came from the same primordial oak, then another from the App. Trail (or AT) looking toward Shenandoah.
Then a creek in Brunswick, Marylard, you can see the Potomac in the background (Used to be called Berlin, MD befored WWI) .
Next, a tree in a former field on Da's stewardship, he's always respected my knowledge when it comes to land and is following my advice by restoring it to native forest.
Beautiful spider (Da's place), it took me a few times to get the shot, I would get close and it would move but come back to the same place, next a Virginia farm, the skies there were amazing, followed by a stream in Virginia, next a hilltop Virginia winery.
An up close of the flower of the tree in the former field that is being restored, then wild Jasmine on Da's stewardship (I call it stewardship not property because all you can do is take good or bad care of something and never really possess it).
