HerbnArts

...This website is dedicated to the two passions in my life, herb gardening and living the herbal life, and to the creation of fine art through photography. After 40 years of photography and over 35 years of herb studies and gardening I can't seem to separate the two, so this is a running commentary on both and how they help to create my happy places. Hopefully I will be able to share the fun from both with everyone who reads this blog site.

Sacred Space and the Wooly Bear Caterpiller...

- September 30, 2012

...Stepping into October, I have been outdoors as much as weather will permit. This weekend has been absolutely gorgeous with cool temps and warm sun, breezy with lots of blue skies with playful clouds that provide plenty of room for the imagination to make fun creations from the fluffy forms. I love Ohio in the fall. How did I spend the weekend? Art shows and outdoor festivals were my cup of tea. To no avail I tried to get various friends to join me. Don't they get it, it's time to play outside before the cold and wet and snows drive everyone inside for the winter. I saw a wooly bear caterpillar in my garden by the walkway. For those who know how to read their wooly bears, the body was tipped with black while the main center body was reddish brown. So goes the 2012 winter prognostication! My best reward of the day was when I noticed a little spot in my side garden that would make a wonderful sacred spot. I don't know why I hadn't thought

Clancey's Gift...

- October 23, 2012

...The air was warm and inviting. Colors of gold and orange blazoned everywhere. Loading up all the essential equipment to help me to immerse myself into the hiking experience, I set out for Silver Creek Park. It was a trail I had not walked in many years. Too many of my hiking friends now no longer could make the trek, but I was determined to experience that trail more time. For the first time in years I dug out my walking staff to help me along the way. Strapping my fanny pack around my middle I now had some inspirational music to listen to as I walked along taking in all the sensory experiences of the trail. The sun was bright, the air was clear. It was peak weekend for the fall foliage and there were many families taking advantage of this season of leaf peeping. Armed with my trusty camera I walked with a slower pace than others around me as I stopped frequently to capture the various sights along the way. Wild asters were still b

Racing to the Holidays...

Beaver contemplating the Beaver Moon Rosemary blossoms ...Looking as though someone had shaken a giant snow globe, the Magic City was experiencing its first squall of the winter season. At least it wasn't brutally cold. This is the kind of snow that makes it fun to take a walk. It has been ever so amusing to watch my newest kitty, Midnight, getting so excited about those white things flying around outside. Her inky little nose has been pressed against my windows all morning. Occasionally she tries to touch the active flakes through the glass. This is her first experience with snow and she is utterly fascinated by the white wonders. My other two fur babies couldn't care less about the snow event and are participating in their morning snooze event instead. Strains of holiday music filled the day as we are hardly half way through November. My favorite radio station decided to begin the musical celebration early this year. How annoy
