SERIES BACKGROUND: In addition to being known for their fury, hurricanes are also famous for their unpredictable nature. That unpredictability usually involves determining which way a hurricane is going to go before meteorologists decide they’ve got it figured out. In my recent encounter with Hurricane Idalia while in Savannah, Georgia (USA), I experienced a different kind of surprise caused by the hurricane resulting in some unexpected photography after it split what I believe was an oak tree in half.

Large limbs fell on electric power lines, evergreen shrubs, and a backyard shed. As amazed as I was by the destructiveness, I was equally amazed by the images I captured. I describe them as Abstract Nature Photography, Nature as Found Art, Nature as Artist, or Gifts of the Hurricane.

THIS FIRST GIFT OF THE HURRICANE is one section of a large fallen tree branch. It had a form of poison ivy vines growing on part of it with Earth brown and black bark crusted over by polychromatic scales of dull gold, emerald green, ice blue, and ash white. A single green leaf continued to stand after it hit the ground. I felt like I was looking at an entire world which had been hidden until revealed by the hurricane.
