"There are three classes of people: those who see, those who see when they are shown, and those who do not see."

- Leonardo da Vinci

“But love of the wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need – if only we had eyes to see.”

 - Edward Abbey

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” - Henry David Thoreau

 Well, it took me sometime to finish it-  but here it is

 #1 - "Autumn Leaf and the running Rhino"

Dear Reader,

A simple rhino photo, a simple autumn leaf photo, some simple paint and there it is...Not really...First you look for that special rhino (you travel to the African continent to find him), next step ...in the process... you wait until autumn (take another trip ...we can always justify why we never stop traveling... to Europe, here you will search and find... one great leaf),you need some paint (that you can find in one of the travel bags from the "Travelers Nest")...now you wait for inspiration to create...and few months goes by and one sunny day it all comes together...

I need the sun...and a smile...I smile a lot -  try it...life is great...so if you read this? what do you think?... This is a bad unhappy rhino - he should have been smiling...

 I know you have some oriental rugs piled up.....pick out one rug - nail it to the wall and then center the picture...

There is no path...

Well, you have seen some of the photos before ...Just one of those days walking under the chestnut trees and trying to free my mind to be more productive...  a simple photo takes forever to grow into that right feeling of expression... Patience is waiting and to keep going in the direction you have choosen even if it is a slow process... 

time will tell...

Yes, I do pick the chestnuts and roast them...

Hunters and the Hunted...
