The following are real photos taken of the springs in Northern Florida where I visited last week. These places are as magical, open-hearted and vulnerable as children, and they make us want to protect them in just that way. This is water - pure, free and clean - and it emphasizes the importance of this essence for all creatures. May the world's people have access to this water and may we protect it.
You can find links to my published writings at: stirlingdavenport.com.
These include two fantasy novels, a collection of short stories, and various stories and poems in anthologies.
My website includes a link to my son Miles Ballew's children's book "Too Many Friends" with his great illustrations.
My mainstream novel is out to agents, looking for a publisher.
As always, writing is my calling, painting is my dharma, and I walk in nature to clear my head. The rest is just fiction.
