Seven Cycles
$39.74
Book
Seven Cycles is a wry, adventurous collision between common sense and mid-life dysfunction across many fronts: personal, corporate, political, religious and social. The story launches from a cynical view of today's corporate condition, takes off with a shot, then keeps on going.
The main character, Bob, is a fifty-something, divorced, stuck-in-a-rut, mechanical engineer who inadvertently becomes, by virtue of his own untapped competencies, point man against a web of deceit and greed that ensnares his failing company, NASA, the military, conspiracy theorists, the president, government agencies and any number of disenfranchised social outcasts, all trying to navigate through derailed lives – all driven by the discovery of a space virus with miraculous properties, just not exactly the properties its discoverers expect!
The cast of cronies and adversaries includes a polka-loving reluctant saint who can barely dress himself, a love interest with a fiery temper, horses, and a damaged past, a secretive best friend, a surfing Texan, hackers, secret agents, scientists, cloned thugs, bent politicos, amateur radio nuts, nerds, stutterers, greedheads, paparazzi, old men with guns, guys with the same name, mutant yuppies and, of course, the virus itself.
At every step, what should be mankind's best chance to transform itself is wrecked by shortsightedness. Broken agendas bring out the worst in people, DNA is destroyed, Fires are set, Lives unravel, Golf games are cancelled. The president gets involved.
In the process of fighting stupidity, greed, danger and just plain rotten ideas, Bob is shaken loose from his old life to discover love, maturity, respect, new friends and a new outlook.

I posted a similar picture a week or so ago. This one was taken the same morning using a 14mm lens from a slightly different angle.
Taken at the Matthiessen State Park, North Central Illinois, on a foggy morning.

Virens (Latin for greening)
My profession: Landscape Designer and Nature Photographer
Location: New York City
My collection of botanical photos documents the individual characteristics of many species of New York City street trees and plants, including some weeds. In the tradition of botanical illustration of the 1800s, I have titled each image with genus and species names so that they have educational as well as aesthetic value.
My full collection of 1,000 images documenting 100 species can be found on flickr at http://bit.ly/virens
If you are interested, please email me a request to import more images into QOOP for creating prints and posters. virensviridis@gmail.com. Thank you.
My images are either:
2592 x 1944 px 8.6" x 6.5" (300 dpi); or 2448 x 3264 px 8.2" x 10.9" (300 dpi);
PLANTS AS ECOLOGICAL THREATS:
Many of the descriptions of my images are concerned with the ecological threat that many alien and/or invasive species have to our region, the Lower Hudson Valley of New York State. You may pursue further reading on each invasive species under the links I have provided, mostly from this source: Plant Conservation Alliance's Alien Plant Working Group www.nps.gov/plants/ALIEN/fact.htm
It is important to note that many of these invasive species can be purchased from plenty of mail order nurseries on the web, where they are sold especially for their attractiveness. It is our custodial responsibility as landscape architects to recognize these threats by sight.
SPECIAL THANKS:
I would like to thank my two teachers who lent me their knowledge and inspiration on countless walking tours in pursuit of plant identification. Kenneth Kammeyer, CLARB, has been a UCLA Extension Landscape Architecture teacher for 30 years. He led us to many parks and nature preserves in Palm Desert, Encinitas, La Canada, Arcadia and Santa Barbara, California. Professor Jess Hanks, Botanist, City College of New York, died of cancer in 2001. He led us through the wilderness of Van Cortlandt Park, Inwood Hill Park and Central Park and described the ecological and Native American history of these areas as well as the plants while he was in chemotherapy. Last year, I was recovering from chemotherapy myself, and fond memories of both those bearded men were often with me while I traipsed through the woods of New York City with my camera.
I would also like to thank the knowledgeable horticulture staff at Wave Hill Public Garden in Riverdale, New York for taking the time to help me to identify plants by name.
