My studio is part of a gallery/studio set up (High Road Gallery in Worthington, OH).  All 13 artists had a project requiring their participation.  My small contribution was this 7" circular image painted in acrylic.  

My seemingly rare summertime moments of relaxation often turn to watching clouds do their "thing"---dancing across the sky, forming various "animals" as they twist and turn.

Blessed to have a world-class zoo close by, it is not too difficult to get some grandkids to join us for an outing there.  The obligatory $5 feed-the-giraffes stop provides a basis for snapping shots of the iconic beasts.  My lovely wife finds them attractive.  I find her attractive.  A win-win motivation for a love-bank contribution to my sweetheart: a trio of the long-necked giants to take home with her.

Preparing for a big anniversary celebration, my wife and I scurried to scan family photos and slides.  Lots of interesting images “stirred to the top” during our search.  One was this long forgotten Grand Canyon ecktachrome shot.  I was intrigued by the violet cast to the background areas and into the shadows.  This scene almost demanded to be shared, and LARGE.  The awe I experienced looking into this inconceivably enormous monument led to ruminating on the complexity of the Creation.  I find it a difficult challenge even beginning to comprehend the immensity of our universe or the very fact that our planet is so extremely finely-tuned to support life.  Someone deserves an abundance of thanks.
