Strolling along a shore, glancing down the stairs, moving a tree downed in a storm - it's impossibly perfect timing that turns everyday sights into art.
Quality art that could hang in a living room gallery.
Too often a daily routine precludes time necessary to smell the roses, to see the unique beauty in common sights.

Color and clouds can turn a normal vista into a simple piece of art, such as this view looking north at the Colfax Township Cemetery east of Fort Dodge.
A fire escape, for example, can hang forever off the side of a building, until one intense burst of sunlight changes that fire escape into a geometric goldmine, a piece of art capable of holding the attention of even the most critical friend.
Life is art. Recognizing that takes time, a determination to flip the mundane into a creative look at life. A creative look at art.
