"Grandmother Oak, please tell us a story." "Yes, you always know the best stories."

"Well, Saplings, that is because I am from the Elder Tree Clan, and our roots go through many dimensions. Someday you will know these stories in your roots, just as I do. Hmm… let's see. I think I will tell you the story of True Heart, the Dragon PPrincess."

“So Grandmother Oak began to tell her story... “Once upon a time, so begins the finest of tales. There lived a beautiful Dragon Princess... Now this Princess was not one of those grumpy old European Dragons. She was from the family of Lucky Dragons that only live in the far off mountains of Tibet, near the Kingdom of Shambala.”

I am a contemporary western photographer whose main focus is the power and grace of the feminine. I consider "Beauty" to be a living presence in this world. Its refection can be seen in a flower, a mountain, or in the eyes of an old woman. Much of my work is filled with symbolic mystery mixed with the beauty of the western landscape.

Additionally, Lani is the author and illustrator of
