About maskednative
There is a gazebo at the end of the garden. It overlooks the estuary. When the tide is in, sea water pools around seaweed covered rocks. The sound is peaceful, meditative. I drink an early morning coffee, listen to the birds singing morning songs, watch a spider spin his fragile life between timber beams above my head. Even in the harshest of winters, the rise and fall of tides, sun-light on water, movement of sky, cloud, moon and stars, allows an awareness of nature behind the mask of perceived reality. I offer my words and pictures in celebration and gratitude to God, for allowing me a glimpse behind the mask.

A themed display of her oil paintings and poems entitled Cynefin, were on display in Waterford during The Imagine Festival in 2017.

I too look to Nature and to my camera to bring a “lightness” into my life especially at those times when burdens are breaking my shoulders. I gazed at this image for a long time, just “feeling” the emotions I experienced. Thank you! 💝
