Nature

Listening to the Earth - creating our reality
Eight years ago we began a journey of following intuition. As artists, a creative outlet has always been present in our lives, but after a big move closer to our home town with no solid jobs lined up, we turned to nature to help alleviate the stress and anxiety that came with feeling "irresponsible". We are a couple, we're best friends, and we're a team, we always have been. Each time the stress creeped up on us, we found extreme relief hiking deep into the forest behind our house. The scenery, the fresh air, everything about the forest was really what we needed at the time.

Birds: The White Sea Eagles of Parramatta

I read the article “Who is saving the great birds of Sydney” by John Huxley in Saturdays’ newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald” dated Saturday, March 14–15 2009.

Seagulls
Many people, particularly mariners do not like seagulls. The reason? Superstitions. A seagull at sea it is said, carries a sailor’s soul and the screech of the bird is the mournful cry of the dead person. Do not touch the gull to avoid injury to the deceased person is another mariners superstition.

Before the Leap
The Amazon, Colombia. The region is Putumayo. The monkeys roamed through the land of my elder. This one munched on seeds as it seemingly prepared to assess the strength of the branch it opted to leap to. Wondering, will it hold my weight?

Ode to the Red Eft
It's late morning somewhere in North Carolina. I've been hiking alone so far today, mindlessly listening to music as my feet carve a repetitive step, step, step into the damp earth. It rained hard all night, and my friends and I woke up to sopping tents. But this morning, the sky is a crisp, cheerful blue, and the sun warms me as I walk.

Into the Deep We Go
Call her what you will; the sea, a river, the wellspring; her headwaters can unsurpassingly arouse, drown or crown you with her unrelenting invitation to come play with your better nature, making her nature your muse. It's only natural!

Why Are We Here?
At some point in our lives we start questioning our role and purpose in life... hopefully with a child’s curiosity, taking us through our choices and adventures with a sense of wonder, excitement, and joy. Yet, there are times when we lose our way, situations flip upside down, our joy bubbles popped, and we begin forgetting our why.
