Welcome

Nature beings work with earth’s living energy. They are able to alter physical form at a molecular level, creating living artistic and commemorative images. What these nature artists depict is a varied as the work of their human peers. 

What we humans call regions or parks may be managed, in the nature beings realms, by very different life forms with very different objectives. I’ve photographed a wide variety of settings in my over twenty years specializing in this topic. I am in the process of developing each of the galleries on this site into an accurate depiction of at least some of the nature realm activities of that area.  

My photographic studies have been featured in one-person shows, juried group gallery shows, stores and galleries and have received photographic awards. I lecture and lead workshops on this topic.

My three books on nature beings and interdimensional communication are: We Are Not Alone – A Guidebook to Interdimensional CooperationNature Spirits, Spirit Guides and Ghosts – How to Talk With and Photograph Beings of Other Realms; and Truths the Nature Beings Have Shown Me.

March Newsletter Explores the Power of Images to Create Change

Why are images so powerful? What is it that an artist, throughout the ages, has captured that so inspires others to pause, look, and absorb? How do images change over time, and why do we seek the new while revering the old? I posit it is because we trust artists to...

Red Maple by the Quarry Garden

Red Maple by the Quarry Garden

This red maple tree is significant because it houses nature beings who work in close harmony with humans. The tree is located in Delaware, at the edge of the Winterthur Museum's Quarry Garden, the last project of H.F. du Pont in his twilight years. Facing the tree,...

Truths the Nature Beings Have Shown Me

This handsome being insists he is a goblin not a dwarf, even though to me he looks a lot like Thorin Oakenshield in the Tolkien movies. He is very charismatic, sociable and popular in his world. Goblins and dwarves get a bad rap in our human world, he explains, because they are not afraid of humans and won't be pushed aside or around, like some of the gentle beings in the nature realms. ...

The existential scream exists for all lifeforms in all realms...what responsibility do we humans have to lessen the angst for each other and for earth?

So look carefully at this tree. It is a glorious grandmother maple tree who lives at the entrance to a community's Dog Park. This image is on the backside of the tree and has all the humor of a grandmother smiling at her grandchildren. See the very large side view image of a friendly dog and placed in the dog's heart is the image of an unperturbed bird. So the story is that the tree spirit created an image of a reoccurring amusing situation - dogs who love to chase birds and birds who feel loved by all the attention and aren't at all concerned - but maybe a bit annoyed - by the dogs play. #dogchasingbird #grandmothertree #treebeings #treespirits #dogparkfun ...

Here's a lance soldier charging fiercely, with a Valkyrie type battle spirit smiling above him. This tree is a nodal correction point for the war energies that soaked into the land at the 1777 Brandywine Battlefield site, Chadds Ford, PA. Another sign of how humans affect nature, and how it can take centuries for the nature beings to restore balance. #brandywinebattlefield #brandywinebattle #chaddsford #valkyrie #treebeings #naturebeings ...

How many faces can you find in this long tree trunk? This tree lives at the back exit at the renown Winterthur Museum & Gardens, Wilmington, Delaware. I've photographed the bear-like beastie at other locations; he/she is community-oriented and usually appears happily hanging out with other beings. You can see them at today's blog on my website atalatoy;com #winterthurmuseum #winterthurgardens #treebeings #beasties #naturebeings ...

How's this for a ghost image on a gravestone? The gravestone is for a Sarah Sandwith, died 1756, Philadelphia, PA. It's one of the few gravestones that were erected at the Quaker Arch Street Meeting - one of the oldest and most central of the Quaker Meetinghouses in the USA. The Meetinghouse was a burying site for many Philadelphians, but there became a rule that no headstones were allowed, there were so many layers of burials. This tombstone was found in the cellar, and as hers was an honored Quaker family, it is now viewable in the Meetinghouse museum. I wonder how many people notice this sad face on the tombstone? #archstreetmeetinghouse #quakerburialground #tombstones #ghostimages ...

My Instagram name change reflects the cultural shift occurring in society. Academicians, ecologists, activists and lawyers are all documenting the existence of “other-than-human-lifeforms” who co-exist with humans on earth. My focus is on our interactions with these beings, who frequently provide us with clear images of their real existence. #naturebeings #treebeings #woodelves #naturebeingsphotography #naturespirits #cherrytrees ...
