Mother Nature Series

These images we're taken in the Central Utah forest devastated by the Salt Creek fire. I think it may be some of our best work to date.

Curtis,

I kind of LIKE the fact that you can't see My face in this series. . . that way I can deny it's ME. (GRIN)

Beautiful work and subject(s)!

I think perhaps a little bit of face and some of those gorgeous legs in the next set, please!

Just outstanding.

Beautiful shots, nice work;)

Hmmm, I Wanda where Mother Nature is hiding?

I suspect she is getting ready for her "Fall" presentation as she begins
to mix her color pallet, and begins to paint the leaves golden yellow and deep red.
What a Wanda-ful thought, thinking of her form, artistic, and creative talents.
I Wanda if she and her Knight, Sir William, will save the day?

Very unique.

Guest 15-Aug-2007 01:14
awesome gallery, very very well done. Voted
Peter Bowden14-Aug-2007 18:09
Seems a little forced or overdone perhaps.

Without the explaination, it would be hard to
know that htis was the scene of a fire.

Perhaps I just prefer Wanda in her more-usual
lighthearted persona.
Guest 14-Aug-2007 14:49
Unbelievably devastating. I don't know what came before this but this great, great work. VVVV
Harry David Horning13-Aug-2007 17:29

Inspiring gallery. It would be very interesting to return - maybe next Spring - and do a series entitled "Rebirth", provoking an entirely different mood and set of feelings. Thank you, I enjoyed it!
John Buffin11-Aug-2007 17:30
All of these are wonderful. Even though I wish they were all blue toned, I respect your vision to go b&w on the ones that didn't work for you.
I do like "Devastation" and "Charred Earth" very much, but I feel the images where she is touching the trees or ground have much more impact.
This is your best work to date.
tammie11-Aug-2007 15:03
VOTED!! These are outstanding!!
Guest 11-Aug-2007 14:06
These images really deserved their own gallery. Stunning work, both of you! Glad you talked Wanda into going back to the location, it was well worth it! VOTED!
