Description
This is the other side of the Tree of Life shown in The Puzzle. I thought you might want to see the animals on the other side. There is quite a mixture here. Can you find the giraffe? The monkey? The scorpion?
Note:
I have really appreciated everyone's support of my work and I am honored that you have liked it and stuck with me over the past 3-1/2 years through thick and thin. Your words have meant quite a bit.
As some may know, I suffer from Neuropathy, which is a painful and dehabilitating muscle disorder. I try not to get into too much detail about it publicly, but I'm afraid that I've gotten to the point where it affects how I've responded to folks and in my own opinion, I've been rude by not answering IM's and commenting on some great works as I should. I feel quite bad that my participation on Rosity has been very limited as of late due to this. This last two weeks have been very stressful and life changing bringing it all home rather painfully. The time I can spend on the computer mostly has to go towards the work I do, to earn money/keep my insurance. Even though I'm not going to be homeless anytime soon, it's still good to earn for the future in case things go further south and of course, insurance is always important. The bad part is it leaves little for play and rendering. I am not quitting and this isn't a goodbye letter. It's just that I can't participate as much as I have been, but I still want to and think there may be still some images in this old body left. I wish I could do more, but all I can do is be honest. I hope my aloofness, both now and in the future, isn't mistook and that you will all forgive me. And if ya get a chance, the time, the motivation to drop me a word or two, it will be much appreciated to let me know someone is still viewing them. I will try to do the same, though I can't promise I'll get to everyone all the time.
Your friend, ShadowWind
Photography/Photoshop
This picture was taken at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Orlando Florida by myself back in May 2004. It was shot with an Olympus C740UZ 3 megapixel digital and had a slight color correction in photoshop. Original image was 1600x1200.

Oh my fave tree.. S You showed the other side a bit back and I love it. Sure we do miss you..and no, I've never found you to be rude in the least. You've been an encouraging force for me. I understand falling behind and not being able to keep up..I've been there and will be there again, but I can't understand why good sweet people have to suffer like you do..and I'm going to pray for you. Gentle loving hugs to a precious friend.
