Several years ago my family and I made a cross-country trip to the East Coast. We were driving down a lonely road in Montana when by chance, and totally unexpectedly, we noticed something a little strange about the hillside.
Thank you for your compliments on my photo. I am surprised to hear someone else has thought of a butterfly faery bubble tree/grove idea. I had several "bubble tree" drawings up on my art site on DeviantArt, as well as on my Myspace page.
My ideas on bubble trees butterfly faeries and bubble tree groves are from my imagination, as is the artwork.
I would like to have the link to Shrinky's site to see what artwork is there, and the ideas presented.
I really appreciate your letting me know about this.
When I see something unexpected, unusual, or beautiful, my focus involuntarily suddenly sharpens and intensifies. The sensation tickles! That's when I say something "fills my eyes." It is the greatest compliment I can give.

Welcome to my World
I have always loved taking pictures. I took my first and only photography class at West Linn High. The photo lab was located in the bowels of the school near the gym's locker rooms. There we learned to manage typical dark room techniques and procedures for developing film.
Things have radically changed since those days. Today's technology no longer requires pungent trays of chemicals and a dark room.
With the invention of the digital camera, I was set free to capture the amazing, unusual and the unexpected. My camera is always by my side.
I never know when, or where I will be able to capture some delicate beauty, or unexpected oddity.
Welcome to my world!
Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise.

I am interested in people, stories, art, drama, music, nature, and photography.
I love to photograph the forest, my garden, birds of all kinds, the river, my town, our historical home, the ocean and so much more. The stories one can find are endless.
The seasons of nature are fascinating to me. Every year, time and the seasons seem to vibrate with increasing intensity

Oh yes, aren't they wonderful? We watched the wildlife people inoculate a herd of them once and saw them way up close. They are spectacular creatures!
That photo looks like one of those hidden animal pictures! That adds to the interest of the shot!
Yes, I saw them - natural camouflage notwithstanding. But I might have missed them had you not told us to look for them.
Re: yourpost about fairies. A blogger called Shrinky wrote a great post (with memorable picture) about 18 months ago, on the same subject.

Thank you, David.
Wow, are they real? They look like maybe the rocks and moss dreamed them up.
Oh yes, and what a lot of them! How wonderful to come upon a herd of mountain goats when you don't expect to do so.
Nice pic.
The rocks, they move.
