"I am convinced that creativity is a priori to the integrity of the universe and that life is regenerative and conformity meaningless." Buckminster Fuller

"The primary difference between the western and indigenous ways of life is that Indians experience and relate to a living universe, whereas western people reduce all things, living or not, to objects." Vine Deloria

This is what you do with your digital camera on a gray April day when I should be in the field training with the 5th Connecticut. Our "sunshine patriot" commander called off training.

Another place I found my reflection, the trusty rain barrel.

Jolly Roger! A new 18 x 30 collage piece I just put into the gallery on Sunday.

I LOVE BOTH QUOTES AND EACH ONE HAS BEEN
GIVEN DUE CREDIT BUT WHICH CAME FIRST?

Just returned from two weeks of 85 degree sunshine, bright blue skies and warm moonlit nights on "old Florida's" Pine Island (west coast).Spent a lot of time on Pine Island Sound and taking in the local music and art scene. Some of my work has been accepted into a new gallery on the island called Earth & Spirit.

Photos from top to bottom: I love the pelicans on the island, here's three waiting for a meal on the top of a boat lift.

Beatuiful full moon over the ol' place in Bokeelia.

Lulu soaking up the rays at the only public beach on the island (that's what's kept the hise rise eyesores from developing).

Cruising Pine Island Sound in the pontoon boat. Capt. Lee at the helm and a motley crew of Roger, Maryanne, Lynne and Lulu. Captiva Island in the background.

Ahhhh! Corona's all around and lunch at Barnacle Phil's on Captiva Island.

One of the challenges in my "Caffeine for the Creative Mind"book was to take a photo of your reflection in 10 other things besides a mirror...so here's where I started...top one is a microwave door and the bottom one is the edge of a frying pan...more to come!
