ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The lake close to my home had just frozen overnight and in the morning a breeze pushed the thin plates of ice onto shore into a delicate balance of structures and layers - just one little nudge and it would all fall apart. I could imagine a growing and changing life being a fine balance like this in a way. You have to work hard at keeping it together. Just one little push from an extraneous, perhaps destructive, force, could have it all come tumbling down.

AUTHOR
Darrel Giesbrecht is an amateur photographic artist living in Lake Country, British Columbia. He sees all of life as sacred, as inter-connected - as Creation. His artistic vision and creative process attempts to gratefully celebrate all of life and nature as meaningful, wonder-ful, and significant, whether it is grand and flamboyant or whether it is plain and simple, whether it is noticed by the many or whether it is not noticed at all. His goal is to, in some way, direct the observer beyond the medium back into the heart and mind where different ways of seeing and understanding are processed. Artistic expression must touch the human spirit in journey, perhaps change the human spirit, must raise awareness of things that matter, or it remains as an unsprouted seed in the ground, as purely aesthetical rather than aesthetically pure.
