The art of seeing, words and images - part 3 The Final Exhibit!

If you've swept through "The art of seeing, words and images," Parts 1 & 2, then you know that all this work in photography and writing is culminating in an exhibit this Saturday, May 16, from 5-8 p.m. at the Boardwalk Gallery, 115 N. 5th Street, in Windsor, CO.

There will be seven of us--five students and both instructors, Suzette McIntyre and Kerrie Flanagan, presenting our finished images and poems.

For my space in the gallery I selected 10 images and wrote three Cinquain poems and two Haikus.

I decided to focus on my macro photography to create a more abstract image of very recognizable subjects.  As Rob Sheppard, a well known nature photographer said,

"Nature photographers are the eyes of the public."

Stone, Rain & Sky

Ancient.
Solid Altar.
Quiet stone near pond's edge.
Holy rain water reflects prayers
skyward.

Druid's Portal

Look in
and see beyond
the boundaries of earth.
What lies inside is magical
surprise.

Life Force

Bubbles
frothy with air
race downstream colliding
with a river's pull to create
Life Force.

Cosmos

A rain droplet glows
with a universe of life's
mystery inside.

Sweet Honeysuckle Rain

Spring's Seduction

Enchantress

A saucy curling
beckons and beguiles the sun.
Spring's seductive dance.

Fairy Curls

Sun Dance

Velvet Unfolding
