Parrot-Tulip
I love the feeling of this image. It is as if I am small and moving among the tulips looking up at the sun coming down through the petals and leaves.

Can Beauty be a Political Statement?
Blue rods of light
I speak for myself. Civility in America’s public arena is under challenge through crass, vulgar and denigrating speech. The growth in tolerance and egalitarianism over the past few decades is facing a setback through intolerant language and actions. When I watch tv news, read newspapers and listen to the radio I come away with the sense that America is in a dark threatening time.
As an artist what can I do to contribute to a more civil, tolerant, inclusive and positive society?
Can beauty be a counter to ugly language and behavior? I believe it can. The laws of science and human behavior support the principle of balancing forces. I offer beautiful images as an artistic and political counterbalance to the ugliness. I invite you to join me in the affirmation of life as we strive for refinement in our lives. What we visualize will have an impact on our attitudes and behavior. This is not a naive call for putting our heads in the sand or pretending that there aren’t a multitude of challenges to the common good. For me it is a recognition of the negative and a choice to turn toward the positive. In the face of darkness and ugliness, light and beauty is a revolutionary action.

I looked down at the edge of the driveway and noticed an inch worm making its’ way into the dirt. When I examined it I wondered, is an inchworm really an inch long? When I placed it on a ruler I saw it was three-quarters of an inch, at least this one was. As I photographed the inchworm it lay still and looked more like a twig, a rather effective camouflage. Enjoy the up close and personal look at this intriguing tiny creature.
Inchworms are classified in the phylum Arthropoda, class Insecta, order Lepidoptera, family Geometridae.
Inchworms lack appendages in the middle portion of their body, causing them to have a characteristic looping gait. They are also called loopers.
This inchworm proved to be three-quarters of an inch. It was very effective at looking like a twig.
Seems animals and insects, like humans, cannot resist getting into each other’s business.
