ROSEICAPILLA by Julia Rose
Art is the expression of those beauties and emotions that stir the human soul. Howard Pyle As a designer using flowers and botanicals as your medium, it does not matter how large or decadent looking your designs are, you do not have to feature only expensive designer flowers to create something amazing. Sweet little garden flowers will sing a song of love if your technique and composition are on point. I focus on colour and texture; these two elements alone make my heart sing.

THE LITTLE LAKE. Top Story - June 2021.
One of my favorite things to do when I have some free time, is to go for a walk with a camera in hand. I have always loved capturing a moment of beauty or interest and the art of reflecting everyday life in a unique way. Living in the mountains and being surrounded by lakes and wild life gives a budding photographer, such as myself, an abundant and beautiful palate of readily available landscapes to photograph.

Who's who in the zoo
Who’s who in the zoo (is it me, or is it you) by the ADHD Accountant Years ago I read a book, though not particularly relevant it was one of the Ender books by Orson Scott Card, and part of the story was about how a fence can be keeping people in, or keeping out, and that it can often be a matter of perception.

Patience, Persistence, and Timing
It wasn’t until this past year due to the pandemic that I became involved and in love with photography. I lost my job of four years and was trying to find ways to lift my spirits and those around me. Photography was always in the back of my mind because we constantly take pictures even with our eyes. I think what convinced me to take pictures was remembering my older brothers who have been invested in photography for years. They always carried a camera on our nature walks and sometimes even into rural or city dwellings. You just never know when you might come across something or someone worth photographing. One could say this was instilled in me long ago and was just waiting to hatch at the right time. The first animal I began photographing was the Red Shoulder Hawk nest in our apartment complex. Boy, it was a delight seeing those babies with their down feathers, watching them grow, and fledge the nest as adults. It was one of the brightest parts of the pandemic for me. After that I became addicted to taking pictures of various woodland creatures and I made it a habit to carry my camera just like my older brothers.

Capture the Wild
I captured this picture on my smart phone, I was just lucky enough to have it with me. It was charged and had space available in the memory. No edits needed. Deciding which picture captures him the best... was probably the hardest decision for me during this entire process.

Hi There My Deer
In Nara Japan, wild deer roam the town, temples, and nearby woods. The Japanese consider them sacred and don't the deer know it! The deer are sacred because of a legend that God Takemikazuchi rode to Nara on a white deer. So, the deers are considered to be messengers from God.

Flying Free
My oldest daughter was home for a visit between two stints with the Peace Corps in Zambia. We decided to visit my sister in Vermont for the weekend. She lives in a town on the Connecticut River, which creates a natural border between Vermont and New Hampshire, so we were able to visit museums and attractions on both sides of the river.

Seize Life.. Top Story - June 2021.
I have to be honest. I’m no professional. I love photographs and have lots of friends that have pursued photography on a much more professional level. However, I do love experiencing life and a huge part of experiencing it is the art of capturing it. The Latin word captura from the root cap- means ‘seized or taken’, and that is exactly what a photograph does; it takes a moment in time and allows you to take that “time” with you. We’ve all heard the expression “Carpe Diem” translated “Seize the day” and this aphorism captures the very essence of photographers everywhere. Whether professional, mere amateurs or a hobbyist, we live to seize the day by taking captive every fraction of a second we can; taking time as a prisoner of our affairs. This is how I seize my days. This is how I have captured my best moments with WILDlife.

The Bull and the Boy
The small canoe boats floating along the Ganges, the famous and sacred steps of the city of the dead’s riverside packed with pilgrims, tourists, book-readers and locals, a young small shoe-less boy peering over at his family, and what I can only describe as a gargantuan bull, all in one frame. This picture, and the voyage I had to take that led to me this moment, this fleeting moment, is one that needs a deep rewind.

Pollen Count
I live in the southern United States. You know the place where kudzu overgrows unwitting backyard lawn chair snoozers, where the humidity and the temperature are usually equal, creating air so thick you can see and swallow it and where insects grow to prehistoric sizes and intimidations.
