Welcome to a celebration of the natural world through a special collection of photographs, digital art, poetry, essays, audio and more by Western North Carolina photographers and amateur naturalists Tibby Dozier Steedly and Homer Steedly. We invite you to browse TibArt Images in which we try to reflect the beauty and spirituality of nature from the mountains to the sea, from the night sky to the heights of our imagination.
Homer and I find peace, awe and companionship in the wild and hope that the creative spirit of the universe is reflected, if only a little, in our photographs and on this web site. Carry with you the realization of joy in the everyday sights and sounds that surround us. Stop and become still and silent. Creation and the magic it brings are there waiting to be discovered.

This site is dedicated to my sister, Jean Davey and my best friend, DiAnna Ruth Hyre.
MY SITE FILLED WITH THE SOUNDS OF NATURE. I INVITE YOU TO LISTEN.
This place is a dream. Only a sleeper considers it real. Then death comes
like dawn, and you wake up laughing at what you thought was your grief.
Rumi
As I age I am grateful to find that a silence has begun to gather in me,
coexisting with my tempers and my fears, unchanged by my joys
or my pain. Sanctuary. Connected to the Silence everywhere.
NEW SOUNDS!
My dear husband's incredible website and story.
