Introduction: There are many moments that we often pass by and take for granted. They vanish while our busy minds ruminate endlessly. All the while we miss what is right in front of us which is the present moment. Our duty should be to inhabit this precise second of existence. To this end the ancient art of haiku is ‘Zen’ for it takes these tangible concrete moments of time and crystallizes their essence in as few words as possible. The haijin (haiku poet) is thus constrained to relay a significant event in few syllables. Haiga is still a young art in the West but the principles established in Japan offer a good background for experimentation and development. When haiku are embedded in an art piece it is called haiga. In modern haiga the image and the haiku poem are coupled with a 'haiku-moment'. This haiku moment is described as a moment of transcendence. All original bilingual haiga by Minerva Bloom.

ORGANIC ABSTRACTS is an original project by Minerva Bloom, exploring change, regeneration, patterns, textures and colors in nature. Each month is represented by an Organic Abstract Photograph: an artistic composition focusing on elements such as colors, lines, textures and shapes that may be found while observing nature at close range. Such as the unique patterns of tree bark, lichen on rock, organic debris or flotsam, shells and sand, fallen tree trunks and more. Each photograph has a brief description of the scene.
Minerva Bloom is currently working on a book of Organic Abstract Photography.

ART AND POETRY
8x11 Softcover Edition
112 pages, full color photographs
A stunning collection of Shakespearean Sonnets by poet MICHAEL D. PETTI and nature photography by MINERVA BLOOM; a collaboration that reflects on love and life in its moods and seasons.
A stirring verse introduces each season, hinting at the visual and poetic feast that follows, be it a landmark or a subtle, intimate detail:
"Winter's tomb becomes spring's womb and thus the cycle of life is renewed and recreated."
The script of each year is one of change, but that change composed of each season's chapter, is reliable and knowable. What we believe we may lose in summer, we also believe we will find once more. In each autumn leaf that turns, in each winter snowflake's crystal, in each spring's thaw.
Upon each of our hearts, each season writes its magic...

Introduction: 10 miles of meadow and forest environments traverse this Sea Ranch coastal community of ecologically inspired planning and architecture. It is home to an abundance of wild life. Even off shore, gray whales parade on their 6000-mile annual migration, in fall south to Baja, California breeding grounds and in spring north to arctic waters.
In the rocky zone between low and high tides a rich variety of marine life flourishes on the ocean's edge. Harbor seals sun themselves on offshore rocks and ledges protected by tidal waters. Wildflowers bloom with abandon. Meadows, hillside and wooded areas have its own unique vegetation and combination of wildflowers. Sea Ranch is located 17 miles north or Fort Ross on State Hwy 1.
13 full color, nature photographs with captions by Minerva Bloom.

Introduction: Like the haiku poem the focus of HAIGA is in the simplicity of expression. Modern haiga consists of photo-haiku or art. Haiku accompanying a photographic/art image coupled with a 'haiku-moment.'
The ancient japanese haiku form often contains a juxtaposition between two of its lines and a third line, modern haiga can also contain a juxtaposition between the haiku itself and the visual/art work.
13 nature photographs with a haiku poem, of various textures, colours, landscapes and macroscapes found in nature, by Minerva Bloom.
