I just submitted some of my ‘from the land of dragons …’ photographs to a call for art for the ‘Botanical Photography Exhibit’ by the Dusk Photo Gallery in New Mexico (fingers crossed)
The description of the call said ~ “The theme is Botanical. We’re looking for images that go beyond simple documentation. We want to see how you find character in a leaf, architecture in a seedpod, or a whole world in the curve of a petal. All styles and processes are welcome.”
It felt like my photo series, ‘from the land of dragons …’ was a perfect fit. The photos I submitted are …
dahlia from the land of dragons 2025
tiger lily, from the land of dragons, 2025

It all started when I was walking my beloved dog Scruffy and suddenly I was seeing the world around me with a new lens.
The land of dragons is a kingdom of magic and mystery, of hope and rebirth, of beauty and wonder, decay and reawakening. It is a sanctuary where one can wander unrecognizable landscapes and excavate solace in the enigmatic and mesmerizing. It is a realm where the overlooked is observed, contemplated and celebrated; where all are invited to travel, to peruse, to rest, to exhale and to heal their hearts and to replenish their souls.
