Photography by Connie Shade
Perspectives and perceptions, ever-changing and evolving, these are what capturemy interest and imagination. Nature has many ways of communicating with humans, of attempting to gain our awareness of what has gone before, is now, or will be. When wood and ancient stone take on human or animal visages, perhaps it is time to look more closely, listen more deeply, receive the message our home, the Earth, is giving us. Please feel free to enter my journey, if only for a moment, peruse these photographs, and, perhaps, linger awhile to listen to the stories they tell.
