Wildlife Photography to Benefit Safe Haven Rescue Zoo


 Natural Frames for Nature Photography
A special project that I have been working on with my wildlife photography is now going to help benefit the Safe Haven Rescue Zoo in Imlay, Nevada. 

Several years ago, I noticed three tree knots that were almost thrown in to the fireplace and burned.  I set them aside until I figured out what I would do with them. 
 Then one day as I walked by, one of the knots cried out for me to make it into a frame for one of my bird photos. 

After much sawing, chiseling and sanding, the knot was ready for the Barn Owl Giclee print to be framed.


Each tree knot has its own theme as with the "Say's Phoebes" waiting on their nest of grass and string.

The rough and weathered look of this knot became home to a "Squirrel Gathering Nuts" where almonds from my tree were used in the frame.


I am honored to announce that my "Tree Trilogy" hang at the Art Source Gallery in Reno, Nevada, 9748 South Virginia Street, "Unit E".  http://www.artsourcereno.com/

So if you are looking for an original gift that will bring one closer to nature, please visit my unique collection at the Art Source.

A percentage of the purchase will be donated to Safe Haven.  Safe Haven provides rehabilitative services and permanent placement for wildlife in need, by responding to assistance requests from state and federal agencies, law enforcement, veterinarians, and concerned citizens.  Their solar-powered facility is designed to have a minimal impact on the environment and to serve as a model of renewable energy practices.




What an exciting and interesting photo-adventure this day has been.  I love it when I am drawn to an area and not knowing what to expect I get treated to new experiences.

Photography places me in the moment where I can share that moment in time. It becomes a life story as represented by my interaction with the scene. The happiness and beauty or the sorrow and strife; how I focus leaves a lasting impression that might touch the viewer on a spiritual level.
