So excited to create and offer these brand new Nature Packs.

This is a limited time offer -- just for the holidays -- with special pricing, thanks to new pricing from my printer.

Whether you buy 4-packs for yourself, for others and/or breakdown the packs to give mini-gifts to other, know that each 4 pack was created with love for nature from my original fine art photography.

It's a Wrap - The Spirit of This Place Exhibition by Phoenix

6/18/2024

Pictured with friend and painter extraordinaire Twyla Gettert.

Although my biggest, best solo exhibit yet may have closed it lives on online.

I was so exciting to be extended the privilege to takeover the Pompano Beach Cultural Center for some 6 weeks. The 53 pieces on exhibit represented my various collections including Everglades, Rocky Mountains NP, Great Smoky Mountains NP, Ireland, Landscapes, WingedLife, Wildlife, Alaska, Venice and more.

Grateful for all the 100's and 100's of visitors who attended the opening reception, private showings, group gatherings, one-on-one personal tours and walk-ins I didn't even know. Big heart-felt thanks to the Pompano Beach Cultural Center for hosting me and Adriane Clarke, Cultural Facilities Supervisor at City of Pompano Beach, in particular who invited me to "take my exhibit on the road". And, Justin Kolosick for his care and precision installing and de-installing the exhibit.

"The Spirit of This Place" exhibit lives on through the online gallery collection and separate videos of each of the exhibition's three galleries. Here are the links:

Most Facebook Posts So Far

And then this happened... Took a break photographing the Great Horned Owls hoping the lighting would improve or they would change position and be in better light. Went to Green Cay Wetlands Preserve with another photog friend. We witnessed this predation from Great Blue Heron from searching for prey to getting all tied up, strikes several times by the snake, to releasing snake to acquiring it again and finally flying off with it. Must say it was difficult for me to see the snake's face so close up while post processing. Number of likes (love and wow) is more than 650 so far with more than 150 comments. Snake is a brown-banded water snake.

It's always fun for me to reflect back on which Facebook posts received the greatest number of "likes and loves". Mostly I deeply appreciate those who take a little extra time to share a comment on how the images touch them, inspire them, bring them peace, make them feel that they are right there with me as I capture the moment. Thanks so much for your continued love and support. https://www.facebook.com/phoenix.spiritdiva/
