This is my Homage to the indigenous people of our country. I have a deep respect for their cultures and history. When I first saw a headpiece like this on its stand, I knew I had to do something using it as a symbol. I took many photos, and this view hit me as a perfect way to show my feelings. I searched the archives of Edward Curtis photos until I found the right human to use as my "ghost" which should haunt us.

Now you will not be able to get that song out of your mind if you are a child of the 50's. This wolf haunted me for years since he locked eyes with me. I have done him in several other formats but never this large. The drippy drool is his signal that he is just waiting for you to like him and he will pounce. He lied about your taking time to pick the flowers for her not being against your mother's instructions and was able to beat you to Grandma's house. We all know what happened then! Be aware.

These young bulls were captured on 250 frames in my camera. I was fortunate to be driving around Yellowstone by myself and able to stop when I needed to. I spotted the one on the right coming out of the woods toward a hummock across the roadway from me and pulled over. It was the heart of the Rut season so I guessed a girlfriend or a competitor might be close. The other bull showed himself to me left and no other cars were around so I had an unlimited view. They sparred and pushed and sharpened their skills while building neck muscles for the real thing. Reminded me of young male humans poking each other in the chest before doing the shoulder shove and then the punches are thrown. With most humans on edge and defensive, looking for a fight it seems, in today's world, I felt this was a statement of the times.

Being true to myself, here is another reflection of my inner feelings, in a cat! This is exactly how I felt when all restrictions were lifted after Covid calmed down. I had grown used to them and had actually enjoyed travel and shopping with them, so I was hesitant when it was back to what we once called normal.

When I saw this nest being started in the skull of a cow, it struck me as a wonderful symbol of how Mother Nature regenerates. Rather than approach it from a traditional point of view, I decided to create a bit of "unease" by the radical angle. this is meant to me thought-provoking, not "pretty".
