This is the 2nd in a pair of native grassland monoprints (See Native Grasslands 2A Acrylic Monoprint) which form part of a series of over 40 different monoprints with native grasslands as the theme. In the ACT in Australia on 3% of native grasslands remain. Both prints have been printed using acrylic paints on a gelli plate.

As the river Ogwen meanders through the valley with its continuous flow... I wanted to capture some of the larger trees and just so happened to stumble upon this large boulder in the river that attracted my eye. This image was generated for me to practice my skills in both pre and post production, using a combination of natural filtration and the use of lightroom, which I am new to... I just liked the composition and wanted to add a touch of magenta to the foreground water to distinguish from the cloud background. As yet, I am not sure whether I will work with natural landscapes or synthetic filtered landscapes... I'm just experimenting!

We were walking towards the hotel in Oman for sight seeing and I was surprise to see these fountain grasses all along the pathway.

Taken somewhere along the Oregon Coast sometime during my first trip to that area back in 2013. Hope you like this one too. All images are Copyright © 2016 Hany G. Jadaa; C.Chem. M.Sc.

The Odonata (dragonflies, darters and damselflies) are incapable of supporting body weight using the sum of their four wings' maximal aerodynamic force coefficients under steady-state conditions... and so as such grasses provide them with a valid excuse for a pit stop!

We all need some form of shelter from the elements... and when it rains in Wales... it usually pours!!! With this thinking in mind - its not just us humans that need protection... Wildlife and even the insects need somewhere to dip out and find solace and serenity during such deluges... If we continue to remove the architecture which supports, nourishes and enriches the lives and livelihoods of wildlife ~ whether it be insects or otherwise... How can we expect - the foods and nutrition which supports us - to continue..? After-all its all their 'pollination work' which supports us... Grasses, woodlands, and wild spaces support them... so yet again, stave off with the grass cutters - and give nature a break..!

It seems that its not as yet blindingly obvious to Governments that when you destroy habitats which in themselves are created in order to support the creatures which have learnt and evolved to survive on them... that you indeed destroy the very fabric and the lineage which it created. Putting it in layman terms - 'Where there's muck there's brass and where there's copper as in this 'small copper' fortune... then there's grass! If we apply 'basic thinking' and in most instances this is needed ~ then leaving grasses to thrive right through till late autumn ~ allows beautiful butterflies like these to do what they best do, and that is helping flowers to pollinate. When you destroy grassy areas the areas become like 'arid deserts'...

Although this slightly off square format doesn't exactly obey the rules of composition the subject matter lends itself to the non-conventional shape expressed and hopefully helps to draw the eye into the body shape of the lacewing and the slightly geometric shape of the lens flare captured. Subtle and delicately portrayed the hexagonal shape even somewhat mirrored in the capture of its eye... "Through The Lacewing Lens"

in a highly detailed nature landscape, a deer, a rabbit, a flower and a bird lurking in the dried-up branches of an old tree turn all this landscape into a surreal work of art.
