Underwater World

Feeling a little under-water at work lately with some of the shenanigans that have recently come into play.

Though these Manta Rays are a little brighter orange and more round than Nature's, their swift and silent movement through the ocean and their ability to sense electrical currents in those sea creatures around them (many of them lurking just below the ocean floor), are just as real.

The stacked charcoal and the fossilized fish outlined on the ocean floor represents sly tactics, office politics, and outdated ways of thinking and working.

The little dingy with a single paddle represents my gratitude for lifelines outside the office, and opportunities to get over the daily ripples in the water's surface.

Now that Halloween's behind us, I'm starting to think about the upcoming Holiday season.  

Today's collage features a light-bearing snowman that would love to lead the individuals, lingering in blue shadows, into the light.
