"When Light Shines Through"...

Why is light so beautiful when it shines through darkness?
This photograph shows many dimensions of light and clouds. Hope you enjoy.

"Head Splash"...

This is that peak moment the Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) spears it's head into the water after a fish. Yes, he caught the fish. More photos to be shared as I review them.

"Leaf Crater"...

Nature has a way of everything just falling into place. I discovered this leaf that had fallen perfectly inside a fallen tree. The time of day allowed for a shadowed side inside the mini-crater. Mother nature was looking back at me as I photographed this. If you let your imagination flow, imagine the crater is an eye and the leaf is the pupil.

"Around the Corner"...

You never know what's around the corner. You may be cold, in the dark, but around the corner, light is golden and abundant.

"The Silence of Arches"...

Built in the 1930's, ivy and erosion now consume the abandoned Carden Bottom school. These arches cover the pathway from the school building (right) to the gym (left). The gym, built in 1936, had burned some years ago. The school building has subsequently fallen victim to fire as well. You can almost see the children walking and playing in this pathway. Hopefully, the public can learn from these abandoned mistakes and provide better, continued use of these wonderful structures that were built to last.

This is one of many photographs I've made of this historical place.
Location: central Arkansas.
