giant animation

wonderful "giant" animation

and for something i so believe in

green energy

inspired by. . . nature

the pattern of a delicate fernthe form of a single featherthe colours on a weathered old gatethe symmetry of thistledown
the contrasts beetween manmade & natural

* * *

these things i am inspired by

as they catch my eye when i am awandering

september sunset evenings . . .

taking time out to

make the absolute most

of these golden hued

silky september evenings

with the sun sinking swiftly

into gilded seas

leaving tinted clouds

in painted skies

for the nights are creeping softly in

the hours are ticking by

and its time to head steadily homeward

sooner & sooner as each day passes

the ice bear project

on 11th December in Trafalgar Square, london

a life-sized polar bear will be carved from ice

"As each Ice Bear melts it will leave a skeleton. . .

. . . . and a powerful environmental message"

folks will be able to reach out and touch

an "inspirational and iconic symbol of the Arctic. "

sculptor Mark Coreth saw the effects of climate change
on his travels to Baffin Island Nov 07 and so the

icebearproject.org was born

* * *

bears will be sculpted in other cities worldwide
using art to bring home a message

the fragility of our enviroment

info 1st found on the blog of someone

who's work i greatly admire

Terri Windling

autumn fruits & driftwood

wandering out beetween the showers

early autumn feasts met our eyes

bursting into richly coloured ripeness

tucked amongst the dripping hedgerows

and down on the evening lit, deserted shore we found a beachcombers windchime

of driftwood, twine & seashells

dancing gently in the breeze

tinkling its tune out over the sea

( tomorrow we bring baskets to fill !)
