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.

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 fr...

Racing to the Holidays...

- November 20, 2019

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 ...

Hitchcock Versus The Groundhog

- March 22, 2024

...Azure skies shone as the bright sun made everything sparkle. It was making February in Ohio seem as though spring had already arrived with uncommonly mild weather. What an odd winter we have had this year as everywhere around us was slammed with snow and ice storms, as we hardly knew what happened around our protective bubble of weather. Local lawnmowers have been tuning up in anticipation of the green grass season soon to come. The groundhog was highly confused as he had no sun shining on his big day. ”You woke me up for this?!!!", he seemed to say. No shadow for Punxatawny Phil this year. Everyone other than Phil was of course thrilled. In reality, I saw neighborhood groundhogs searching for food last week and slipping under my neighbor's porch. Even the birds are a bit confused as to whether it is spring or not. Last week I had an Alfred Hitchcock moment when the noise of large flocks of birds drew my attenti...
