“Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry.” – Richard P. Feynman

This Spring I was sitting at the table, in our breakfast room, and looking out the window at the dogwood tree which grows just outside. I stared at the tree for several minutes and all at once I grabbed my camera and went outside to make this image. I find that the creative process works best for me after a few minutes of quietly contemplating my subject.

“Every flower is a soul blossoming in nature.” by Gerard De Nerval

Not far from my home is a field of daisies that grows next to a forest. I visit it each year and make photographs for hours. Each year I discover something new

“There is another alphabet, whispering from every leaf, singing from every river, shimmering from every sky.” ― Dejan Stojanovic

Just back from a week in the Smoky Mountains. I find the edges of the streams and rivers cutting through the forest and filled with boulders very both peaceful and artistically inspiring.

“In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.” Antoinette Brown Blackwell

I think it is only natural as an artist to evolve. In the past couple of years patterns have become a deep source of inspiration whenever I go into nature to photograph. Discovering, isolating, composing and photographing these abstract patterns is exciting and fulfilling……

One of  the most fascinating aspects of my journey as a nature photographer has been searching for and discovering patterns in nature. They are everywhere, sometimes obvious and sometimes nearly hidden…..

“It’s on the strength of observation and reflection that one finds
a way. So we must dig and delve unceasingly.”
~Claude Monet

This year’s fall season winds quietly down along the Little River. I love the quiet time that I spend alone in nature creating images at this time of year. Things slow down and my image making becomes more contemplative.

Uncovering Masterpieces of Nature Across Tennessee

Had a great meeting Monday night with Paul Kingsbury to discuss our new book “Treasures Untold” coming out early next year!! This picture is of the working cover. The final cover design is still under construction.

I discovered this patch of butterfly weed while exploring a cedar glade early one summer morning.

“I am following Nature without being able to grasp her … I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.” ~ Claude Monet
