“When March blows its horn,
your barns will be filled with hay and corn.”

Is this the Ship of Dreams?

“To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
Luke 1:77-79

I decided to do a summer version of my Winter Leaves work.

I did this piece for the E-On Software 3D Environment Competition 2012. It was inspired by a visit to my grandfather's timber farm. I wanted to capture the cool blue mistiness of the woods on a cold morning.

Christmas in the Pines

This photograph of the morning sun shining through the trees was taken a few feet to the right of Fertility, but on a different morning. I didn't often have time in the mornings to look at the view, but I always enjoyed when I had a chance to watch the sunrise.

When I lived in a basement apartment for a while, one advantage of being half underground was that the back “yard” sloped steeply enough that there was a sort of ravine between the rows of houses. Although there were signs of a volleyball net being there in the past, when I lived there it was too overgrown to get to. That was fine with me - I just liked the view! I took this photograph early one morning and edited it to give it a dream-like quality.
