Seeing is believing and the photographers who participated in February’s assignment, The Eyes Have It, sure made a believer out of me! And it sure is difficult not to be attracted the power and symbolism of the eye. Many images here are bullseyes on the topic, and range the gambit of plant, animal, mineral…and even [...]
March is a transitional month in terms of climate where the opposing forces of wind, rain, snow and sleet do battle with the warming northern hemisphere temperatures caused by the earth’s shifting axis toward the sun. Eventually spring wins out helping to pave the wave toward summer, but the contrasting elements of bluster versus blister [...]
Seeing things anew was the challenge in February, and those willing to bravely take a fresh look at their world, sure did so…and in amazingly creative ways. BINGO! Whether it be in their indoors environment at home or in their homeland’s external natural environment, the sights, feelings and essence of things are what shine through [...]
Recently, we’ve had you looking freshly at scenes using all of your senses, but primarily with just one; sight. Seeing is one thing mentally, but the origin of it relates to physical properties of both the environment and the body in order to sense light in our brains. So how is that we do this? [...]

In the voice of one participant, Jesse Meyers, she described her submission in the following terms: [...]
Since the dawn of civilization, the human species has found it mutually purposeful to live in collective fashion in the form of villages, communities, towns and cities. It would be impossible to say what our lives would resemble without the constant cacophony of sights, sounds and commerce that exist in today’s modern urban or not-so-urban [...]
If you are a human on this planet, chances are you’re a nature lover at some level.
