I had taken some photos of mushrooms on a forest floor, complete with twigs, leaves, and moss. The scene reminded me of my grandkids hobbit drawings, so I took one of my mushroom shots, gathered up some artistic privilege, and added a little house.

"Fungidelic"

No, not AI. This is a real photo, although I did add the blue-green coloration for effect. This was part of a large mushroom cluster growing on the side of a very tall and very much alive tree. For scale, this section is about 6 inches top-to-bottom. The cluster was about 15 inches. Such beautiful architecture, I just had to photograph it.

"The Journey"

The youthful green has gone now,
a gallant job well done.
But left behind are stunning hues,
a new show has begun.

A leaf meanders from the branch,
sets sail upon the creek.
Perhaps there are some mysteries,
places still to seek.

The river does not ask
how long the road has been,
but only where the water turns
when the light grows thin.

In my last post I took a break form wildlife. I started thinking about the wonders of the seasons. Phoenix really doesn't have much in the way of seasons, so they are special to me, having grown up in Chicago.

But while our seasons are just two, hot or not, real seasons are always just a short drive. My last post showed how snow can blanket the high desert of the Grand Canyon. But this post brings me back to Fall, which just happened.

I don't have to go all the way to the Rocky Mountains to see some of the most beautiful Fall colors in the US. It's really hard to beat Fall in Sedona. Oak Creek never fails to please.

I think this image really brings home what's special about seasons in Arizona. While I remember some beautiful Fall colors in Chicago, in Arizona you can see the colors against a mountain stream backdrop. This photo-turned-painting was inspired by my collecting leaves in such a place.

"Grand Canyon in Winter"

Snow settles softly on ancient stone,
The canyon sleeps beneath the white.
No sound but wind through branches blown,
A frozen world, enchanted by night.

Thought I'd change the pace a bit, with one of may favorites from the Grand Canyon. I know we just entered Fall, but still, Winter is not far behind. I wonder what magic this winter will bring?

You know, folks often think about the Canyon as desert, and it is. But it's a high desert, around 7,000 ft. That's about the same as Flagstaff. And yes, the Canyon does get snow, as this shot proves.

Elephants — "Family Meeting"

A pencil-style wildlife illustration of an elephant family gathered together on the African savanna, with adults and youngsters moving as one closely connected group. Part of my wildlife art series celebrating the character, strength, and bonds of wild animals in their natural surroundings.

My wildlife drawings are inspired by photographs I have taken during travels to wildlife destinations around the world.
