    Add your tWhat I love about the blog, leaf and twig, is the artist’s ability to find the unusual in nature or the artist’s ability to find an illustrating analogy such as the one in this picture where the meadow is likened to the sea as it too has “waves that lap at the birch shore line.” Beautiful blog that I highly recommend for inspiration and motivation. houghts here… (optional)

  12. R. L. Culpeper – My aims are to promote reason and humanism. An enormous undertaking, I know. I compare the past with current events and examine why we repeat our ancestor’s follies. The cause for much of our species’ vices can be directly attributed to totalitarian ideologies. This extends to fascist regimes that have replaced religion with an alternative form of absolute authority. However, the template for these regimes can be found within the great – not so great - monotheisms of our day. Over the past decade we have had an increase in religious fervor. Of which, despite the best efforts of apologists to skew, we have numerous examples of unethical behavior. This alone should be enough to gain the attention of every self-respecting, moral individual; but superstition has a way of clouding even the most rational of minds. Since absolutism doesn’t rest with unethical behavior, I am forced to address the effects that the credulous are playing on human progress. Finally, to avoid raising issues without providing solutions, I will review the virtues of humanist principles; the most important of which is compromise. “The knowledge of the great events produced in the world through many centuries, and digested by solid and active minds, will serve to fortify the reason in all important deliberations.” - Will Durant

He has climbed, hiked, kayaked, photographed, skied, and otherwise meandered aimlessly throughout the American West for decades. He has degrees in geology, environmental studies, and communication — and has tried to make use of them as a co-founder of the progressive cultural blog ScholarsandRogues.com. He’s broadly interested in how the world works and why it works that way. He hates writing, although he does like having written well.

    Simplicity such as this requires a highly sophisticated imagination. Well done.

  22. Gretchen Del Rio – Crestline, California, USA – I first discovered the magic of water based colors when many years ago I began to paint with procion dyes on silk. I loved the unexpected quality of the process. It was so exciting to never be sure what the colors and water would combine to produce. It seemed as though the medium had its own passion. Painting with watercolors and paper is much the same. I love the color combinations and separations that occur spontaneously as the color floats on the water. You can never totally predict what effect will result. If you try to control the medium too much, your painting will be very tight losing its aliveness. The artist must be bold and decisive or the work will not be clear and fresh. It is really like a dance. It becomes a controlled folly in knowing when to let go and when to take charge of the direction that the painting is taking. The images that I paint reflect my emotions and are expression of my life experience. They are not extensively planned, but rather evolve as the painting progresses. I am always surprised by the end result since it comes into being because of what the medium and emotion has suggested. The paintings are from my heart and I always fall in love with the subject. I believe that we are all connected and, if an image touches you, it is because we all have the same heart even though our paths may be different. Most of all, painting what I paint makes me happy. The paintings are my own path unfolding. They are an opening door for me and contain my own passion for life.

  23. Mary Mageau – Queensland, Australia – I am a writer and nature photographer, living in a small rural village in the Samford Valley. Here on Australia’s east coast, surrounded by the Brisbane State Forest Park and four rugged mountains, I enjoy exploring new and creative ways to engage with the natural world that surrounds me. My husband and I often roam around Australia as we visit the outback and cities of interest. Our favourite destinations also include the islands scattered throughout the Pacific Ocean. With my notebook, pen and camera at hand, I’ve enjoyed researching and photographing amazing places and scenery, together with the stunning flowers and foliage found in these unique parts of our world. This blog―Nature as Art and Inspiration―has developed through my love of writing and travel.

  27. LB – I'm a woman who loves spending time on the motorcycle and in, or on, any body of water. I love traveling and reading, baking and cooking, taking way too many pictures, and enjoying my family and friends. Life is an adventure, and I want to remember and express my joy for it! This is a journal for me ... so I'll never forget the good times and to remind me of them on more challenging days.
