[23] The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Date: June 3rd, 2008 | Comments : none | Categories: Garden, amphibians.

Sun Star and little toad in the background.The Good: A beautiful orange flowering plant called a Sun Star.

The Good: all the little unexpected surprises, like this toad that I never would have seen if it had not popped out of the hole at the exact moment I happened to be looking there. The clay container with a hole in the center is designed to coil and contain garden hose, but being used as a plant pot. The Bad: having no choice about mowing the lawn on a 98*F day, and keeping edges formally trimmed because the neighbors have it that way. Also Bad: Fire ants that bite before you know you’re standing on a nest with bare feet…

  • Statement

    "Images and ideas are powerful, and presenting them is what I do best, ultimately as a traditional Artist, but also as one who increasingly appreciates photography as an Art form. I'm most comfortable painting or drawing (acrylics, graphite, oil pastels), but do not limit the means to expression. My approach is toward Art as a process that supports larger objectives, emphasizing creativity as an attitude toward life."
