The theme of this show is Mother Earth! This includes and is not limited to Water, Soil, Plants, wild Animals, Insects (big and small), as well as our relationship to them. We are part of Nature and it is a part of us...the same minerals found within the Soil and Water are found in us.
Butterfly
Lexington, KY
Painted Lady Butterfly, butterfly, transformationThis photograph was taken on one of my many trips to work in the Southland Community Garden (in Lexington, KY).
When I self-published my book, Expanding Horizons Through Creative Expressions in 2013 I decided to use the photograph of this Painted Lady Butterfly on the front cover.
Flow Like the Water
Richmond, KY
Silver Creek, Barnes Mill Road, flowBe like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way round or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend.

The Power of Love: November 2013

love, Martin Acres, power of love, rise aboveOn two acres of Martin Acres—on the outskirts of Greenville, KY—these photographs were taken in November 2013 and November 2015.
My twin brother and I started working on our forest garden in 2013 on fallow grazing land that had seen better days. We ended our work trip by speaking words of love to everything, and you can see the difference that it made (look closely at the November 2015 photograph).
