 None shall find their presence unwelcome here, but only few--if
any--will find this place welcoming.  There is no danger, except my own
in making known this hidden self who has finally found her own name,
her own voice...and refuge....
  This place belongs to Xanthus, a created personna who embodies the
free and bold spirit yet captive within the tortured and tremulous soul, who
once cried without wane for release and sanction.
   In this space, freedom's pleas are realized and imagination's musings
are given heed and substance.   This shall be my entrance, my escape...my
refuge.
The iris is, without debate, the most beautiful flower of
God's creation.  Delicate, lacy petals folding open
with graceful splendor to reveal its regal bloom...a
uniquely sweet bouquet that lingers and woos...vibrant
colours that draw one's eye away from all others to
admire the elegant blossom that towers above others,
atop staunch and sturdy stem.  Its beauty has no peer.
I have dedicated an entire section of this site to
graphics of irises.

This is my totem, my talisman, my familiar: the
Red-wing Blackbird.  Easily overlooked by most
as it perches atop corn stalks at roadsides...until
it takes flight--a flash of brilliant red with a
spark of yellow, swooping and climbing
narrowly in its distinctive pattern.

As this site features all original graphics, I thought
it might be fun to show how some of them were
made. Check out my demo pages--
