Thanks for the feature.
As part of my experience on an April day I spent a good part of a sunny hour with some giant bulldozers. This is the bottom half. The scale was really imposing.
The wonderful textures of the giant tires of the bulldozer fill this composite design with a sense of scale of these awesome tools of the trade.

A passing glance reveals a world of interest.
A fallen branch, firmly attached lichen, a jumble of of tossed leaves could be seen but not noticed or cause one to stop and take in the textures of the bark and lichen, the warm autumn leaf colors, the swirling shapes of the tossed and shrinking leaves, the paler undersides of the leaves revealing more details of the leaf veins and structure, the warm light giving life to this small scene... moment's glance giving so much.

These Linden tree leaves catch light and interact with each other so beautifully. Their curvy undulating shapes are always a delight to see especially when a breeze touches them lending just enough movement to make it interesting. This monochrome image highlights their luminous quality.

On the Ferry at the Outer Banks of North Carolina one experiences the vastness of the ocean broken only by a slim sandbar. This strip of land is so appealing as it holds on to its place. Above is the other immeasurable sight of a cloud-filled sky. Hard light of the midday sun creates a path of intense sparking. All together it pulls and creates a wistful element and lasting impressions for me.

Natural Design in Wood - Aged wood knot on a beautifully weathered barn wall siding show that the knots in the wood continue to reveal the life energy of the wood. Even after its stay in this weathered barn wall, this knot continued to exude resin, showing signs of life energy in the residual color from the sap and possibly attracting other life in the form of lichens. This is part of the magic and mystery that is our planet.

I was drawn to this Birch tree being blown by the wind on a grey and rainy day. I find that such days present their own quality of beauty.
The meandering branches of this Birch tree are like bridges that link to different parts of the tree while the rhythm of the dancing leaves invites a closer look at the uniqueness to the colors and light.

An impressionistic rendering of an early and gray spring day -
It was a late Spring year and not too many sunny days. Many of the ruggedly bare trees were still leaning towards the sparseness of Winter creating a wash of gray and white and black while a quiet haze of green began to cover other trees.

These Linden tree leaves have captivated me for a long time. They catch light and interact with each other so beautifully. Their edges and veins in particular are luminous highlighting their curvy undulating shapes when light touches them. They are always a delight to see especially when a breeze touches them lending just enough movement to make it interesting.
The image is rendered with simplification and color desaturation to keep the focus on the light and shapes.

The emerging leaves of a Sandcherry bush in April are welcome signs of the oncoming spring season.
I've come to appreciate the Sandcherry shrubs that are planted in public places. Their red-purple leaves are refreshing when green is all around and their very lovely small pink flowers are a delicate treat that wane all too soon like many Spring flowering shrubs and trees.
Creatively rendered in a painterly impressionist style.

Abstract Reality Series -
I was mesmerized watching the rain sliding down my window during a in a downpour, I had a real life screen on which the rain traveled. All of the objects outside became blurred patches of color. As cars passed, all kinds of interesting and changing scenarios were created.

I was passing by this birch tree in a dreary parking lot one blustery pre-spring day and was taken by the leaves which had hung on from the previous autumn (marcescense) through the frozen winter giving us a reminder of the past and a nod to the passage that was soon to come. The vigorous wind-blown movement of the leaves gave a breath of life to the otherwise grey surroundings. The dance of these birch trees became a sweet memory.
