  • Back when the sun was warm and the land was green. 🌱 Today the ground is cold, the sky is pale lavender gray and white snow drops are covering the earth in a pure white glow. ❄️ #seasons #forests #folkandstory #trees #quietinthewild
  • Follow the sun ⛅️ My two dogs often migrate around the house to lay in the strongest patches of sunlight. For a brief time there was this incredible bold beam of light. I don’t normally take pictures of my dogs with my dslr but I found the image so striking I wanted to capture a quality image. #light #shadows #dogsofinstagram #createslow
  • Suspended 🍃 When I take pictures of nature I rarely arrange items for a photo. I love the discovery of finding something as it is and capturing that moment in it’s existence. I was looking over old asparagus plants in the back garden when I found this leaf gently held up by the branches of the asparagus. Though they were thin arms they held up the worn and fallen leaf so tenderly. I thought I would share this quiet moment with you. 🌿 #humannature #naturephotography #fallenleaves #green #plantlife #quietinthewild
  • Reach 🌓 You will double tap this image. You will hit the follow button. This is the account you were looking for. 😏 (Just kidding, but 20+ points if you read that in a Jedi voice.) 🧔🏽 Though I wasn’t aiming for a Jedi look I really loved this shoot. It was very simple but I created some dramatic images. Sometimes a simple set up is the most fun. #shadows #light #reach #advancedselfie
  • Flesh & Bone, a new book, is live on the blog. I’ve written a blog post about the process of making the book and the story behind it. Click on the link in my bio and look for the recent post by the same title to read. 📖 #handmadebooks #windandspindlebooks #handmadepaper #invisibleillness #lymesdisease #bookart
  • Autumn Palette 🍂🎨 Since the temperature has dropped (and I’ve embraced sharing all my art forms) I’ve been working more on my books. I love autumn for its rich textures and colors, and wanted to collect an excellent sample of what the season has to offer. Originally I planned to use this in a book, but I’ve since switched to storing these found items in tiny glass bottles. I am not sure what they will be a part of just yet, but they are so pretty to view. #whpseasonal #autumncolors #textures #autumnleaves #windandspindlebooks
