  7. The fields are a beautiful “highlight”. They truly look like they’ve been covered with light, snuggy blankets as Mother Nature hit the snooze button.

  10. I love your photos – there is always a calm balance in them. This one reminds me of a patchwork quilt, all snug and cozy.

  13. leiflife – I have lived most of my life as a dancer,but I have been daughter, sister, lover, wife, mother and, more recently, grandmother, writer, sculptor, musician, and visual artist. Balancing all these aspects of my life continues to be a challenge. I was born on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, but have also lived in New Orleans, Texas, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York City. My father was the artist and naturalist, Walter Inglis Anderson, and my mother was Agnes Grinstead Anderson, an elementary school teacher and a writer. As a child, I loved to dance naturally, inspired by the trees, birds, wind, and waves that greeted my every day. Eventually, I took lessons and my mother encouraged my dream of becoming a great ballerina. I studied ballet with Lelia Haller in New Orleans, and the atmosphere of competition, and the sense that one could never be good enough, daunted my dreams and exhausted my spirit and body. In 1965, Three things happened to free me from the tyrannical world of ballet and move me further toward the balance my soul craved. I discovered Isadora Duncan, the great revolutionist of modern dance, I gave birth to my daughter, Moira, and my artist father died. From here on I would claim the freedom to explore and express the whole of my life through dancing. I was free to become the many-faceted star I was born to be. Since then I have mothered and performed, loved and written poetry, taught the dance technique I called Airth (after the balancing forces of air and earth). I have shared my life with husband or lover, raised my children and kissed them goodby and hello repeatedly. I have also kissed my students goodby and enjoyed teaching workshops from which I could walk away, glad to relax in the company of various dogs and cats. I have read huge quantities of extraordinary books, making friends with the authors through their engaging characters. I have also written poems, memoirs, children's books, and one novel. I have two published books: DANCING THROUGH AIRTH and DANCING WITH MY FATHER. My brush and ink drawings, sculptures, and paintins dance through the homes of strangers while I make occasional journies to Paris and dance anonymously on Paris Streets. At age sixty-five, one is tempted to settle into complacency, to say "I have done the best I can; so be it. I would rather die.

  18. Debbie de Juan nee Keating – Currently and for the last thirty-five years I have lived in Atlanta, Georgia, though I'm (and ever in my heart will be) a New Englander. I've worked in libraries, both academic and public, for twenty-five years and am now happy to be awakened by the songs of birds rather than the alarms of clocks. Currently re-inventing myself as a photographer and artist in the mountains, in the southwestern desert, or by the sea...wherever this journey may take me.

  19. kenneturner – 3481 N Country Club Vista, Tucson, AZ 85750 – . . . For some years, maybe all my life, I have been infatuated with a need for rational understanding and explanation. It is a daily pursuit from which I will never run out of intellectual work, or at least never be at a loss for words at a cocktail party. My place is that which I have walked in person and know the weather at a given time of year, know a lot of the critters, and know a lot of the people -- maybe not always by name. My photographs are easy to comprehend, which is not always true with my art and poetry. If a reader doesn't understand a poem, read it again and listen to it. Like life, exposure to it is part of its power. I'm looking forward to a new Neolithic age combining the love of nature, sex, and life based on mythical truths.

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.
