Shadows Dancing

Visuals that have manifested before me and have been captured by the click of my cameras shutter to share.
Many of us find peace and serenity when we are immersed in the beauty of Nature. Whether alone in the deep forest, lying on the sand staring up at the ever changing clouds before you, or perched on a rock beside a cascade of water falling from high above, Nature is Alive!
To present before you scenes from Nature that elicited an emotion at the moment in time before me is my mission, and the camera is my tool of choice.
Fortunate to have traveled the World, always with my camera at my side, has been one of the gifts in my life. Whether on a business trip, or a true adventure with no agenda other than to immerse myself in the beauty of a given topography, the camera is how I try to convey what I felt, and to hopefully elicit a like feeling within you.
As you may notice during a review of my images found here, I am particularly drawn to Clouds, the Sea and Shadows. The rays cast by the sun through the clouds at sea after a storm or in a remote wilderness location are just one of the beauties of Nature I feel we all can sense and appreciate. The flow of water across the earth, as a creek in the forest or the falls from on high, here you can sense not only the interplay of light in the scene but possibly hear the sound of the water as it trickles or falls before you.
Yet there are times where just a shadow cast upon a wall in a room gives a sense of peace to each of us, if we just stop for a moment and choose to live in the beauty of that instant.
Such is my inspiration to share just a little of what I have seen with each of you. I hope my efforts solicit a hunger within yourself to Explore.
"Seeking, To Be Found" is a complimation of my words expressing Moments in Life shared with a complimenting image.
My poetry and images used to be part of shadowsdancing.com.

Of some of my writings I hope you have experienced the same emotion that generated the need to write of it, and of others I sincerely pray you have never felt and have no idea what I am writing about.
Yes, an enigma that will only be revealed by your reading. I hope many poems will bring some joy, a few may bring a tear, others bewilderment.
What you feel will be dependent upon what you have experienced in your life, and just how successful my attempt to express a feeling was worth the energy to bring the emotion to works of words.
Of all that I have been able to bring from within myself and express for all to see, there is one that I feel must be felt and lived by all of us in order to understand the Human Experience, “Ashes”©.
In closing, thank you for what time you spend here with me and my works.
I welcome your thoughts, comments and prayers.
