NATURE BEINGS AROUND THE WORLD - LET'S TALK!

Our group has now grown to more than 2,900 members, and I would like to encourage more conversation among us.

Some of you have spent years communicating with nature intelligences. Others have had experiences you would like to understand better. And many of you are simply curious about the possibility that we share this planet with forms of intelligent life that most people do not ordinarily recognize.

All are welcome here.

You do not need to have photographed a nature being, communicated with one or developed any particular abilities to participate in our conversations.

In addition to our regular Photo of the Week, I will begin posting a weekly question about nature intelligences and our relationships with them.

I hope these discussions will encourage us to share observations, ask questions, exchange experiences and learn from one another.

Let's begin with a question:

What would you most like to understand about nature intelligences?

I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

I love it when I discover that some unknown person has seen the same energetic situation I do.

The nature beings themselves led me to this tree in historic Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia. They found the whole thing very amusing and were laughing as they brought me here.

Someone had decided that this tree specter needed to be shown physically devouring one of the unquiet spirits of the dead. They went to considerable trouble, too - securing a skeleton firmly in the specter’s mouth with packing tape!

Whoever did it clearly saw the same thing in this tree.

This is the fourth in my weekly October Halloween series. Booooo...

FINE ART NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY - THE BEAUTY OF A LIVING WORLD
Alongside my documentary work with nature intelligences, I create fine art photographs of the natural world - landscapes, trees, flowers and the intricate forms and patterns found throughout nature.
My photographs celebrate the beauty of the Earth and the work of the nature intelligences who help create and sustain it.
For many people, these photographs provide a familiar introduction to my work. We can all appreciate the beauty of a flower, the form of an ancient tree or the quiet presence of a woodland landscape.
My documentary photography takes that exploration further, revealing the intelligences who inhabit and care for the natural world.
My fine art photographs have been exhibited in galleries and are available as prints for homes and other spaces.
I invite you to explore my Art for Arts Sake Gallery on my website, where you can enjoy the photographs and learn more about the world that inspires them.

For more than 23 years, I have been photographing, communicating with and documenting nature intelligences - the beings who share our Earth and help maintain its natural environment.
My website, atalatoy.com, brings together this extensive body of photographic documentation and the knowledge I have gained through these encounters.
The website offers several ways to explore:
• Photographic Field Guide - Visual documentation of nature intelligences, their forms, activities and culture.
• Encyclopedia - Articles exploring the nature realms, their inhabitants and their relationship with humanity.
• Fine Art Gallery - Selected photographs celebrating the beauty of the natural world and its intelligences.
• Educational Resources - Information for those beginning to explore this subject, as well as more experienced students of the nature realms.
My purpose is to make this material accessible to the public, providing a foundation for greater understanding of the intelligent life with which we share the Earth.
I invite you to explore the documentation and discover what interests you.

This is one of my favorite photographs, depicting the battle within each of us between the forces of dark and light.

The tree lives quietly beside a stream, near a reconstruction of the original pioneer cabin that once stood on this plot of Illinois forest.

I was psychically shown the image of the original pioneer standing beneath this tree, looking across the stream toward an untamed forest filled with both danger and opportunity.

Within the tree, a dreamy greenman gazes across the water, detached from the struggle unfolding around him. Below him is a protective bear. Above them, however, the imagery becomes much darker and more complex, shifting among possibilities as you change your own perspective.

Two prominent dark heads emerge from a portal. Shift your vision and a hooded warrior appears, riding atop the two dark specters. Above them is a figure who looks remarkably like one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

I sometimes wonder what personal struggles and challenges of the land this pioneer faced as he stood here, surrounded by untamed forest and seeking to protect his family. The depth of that pondering is certainly embodied in this tree.

This is the third in my series of creepy October Halloween photos. Booo....

Who’s that slithering down this very ornate tree?

Happy autumn haunting season!

What fun! Here are two of my Halloween photos - the dark ones on the wall showing specters in trees - in the fall exhibit at the Chester County Art Association....and people studying them...A great association, for learning all kinds of art techniques!
