Wisteria Study I. Wisteria is an invasive plant that blooms in the spring, but ultimately can kill the tree that it climbs.

Wisteria Study II. I look forward to the wisteria blooming each spring. During the early days of the pandemic, the wisteria was beautiful but bittersweet. Even it seemed dangerous, since it is an invasive plant that ultimately can kill the tree that it climbs.

Wisteria Study III

Storm Study

Pandemic Online Shopping Study: Amazon delivery boxes on my front porch during the COVID-19 Pandemic. On January 1, 2020, I vowed to not us Amazon. But that changed as the pandemic hit and it became dangerous to shop at stores, and certain items became harder to find.

Suds study: Frequent hand washing became the new normal during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Fossilized White Shark Tooth Study: Millions-of-years-old Fossilized white shark teeth that I dug out of a creek in eastern North Carolina. My sense of time eroded during the pandemic, but I reconnected to my bioregion through fossil hunting, and those vast geologic timescales in which these animals lived and became extinct put my life in persecutive.

Megalodon Teeth and Apple Pie Study: I haven’t seen my family in a while so my Dad ordered a bunch of B&G Apple pies and had them delivered to me. These are an NC original treat found for sale at gas stations and made by hand in Winston-Salem. Recently featured on @achefslife show Somewhere South. They taste great browned with butter in a cast iron skillet and then served with butter pecan ice cream. Also my brother @toddcookphoto left a bunch of his giant #Megalodon teeth here.
