IMAGES
WORDS
In the mirror-light
sun and shadows, trees and sky
worlds beneath our vision.
Tibby Steedly
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.
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 each moment the realization of joy in the everyday sights and sounds that surround us. Stop, be still and watch. Creation and the magic it brings are there waiting.

Nothing I say can explain to you Divine Love
Yet all of creation cannot seem to stop talking about it.

TIBART AUDIO - MY SITE FILLED WITH THE SOUNDS OF NATURE. I INVITE YOU TO LISTEN.
Each day we can wake up and choose to see life as a gift and to be
fully present in that day. We cannot always control the outcome,
but we can control our reactions. Each day we can bring all we have
to that day, choosing to live it fully, seeing it as a great gift.
John Izzo
If there is any wisdom running through my life now, in my walking on this earth, it came from listening in the Great Silence to the stones, trees, space, the wild animals, to the pulse of all life as my heartbeat. Vijali Hamilton
There is only one time when it is essential to awaken.
That time is now.

I do not understand how anyone can live
without one small place of enchantment to turn to.
