Thanks for your comments, Shelly!

The shield in the image which represents Turtle Earth in Native American culture, is actually from a silk screen design on an old favorite T-shirt of mine. (smile)

Hey again Bill!

My old T shirt with the Turtle Earth design is 16 yrs old and hangs on my bedroom wall in a place of honor.(smile)

I liked the design and what it signified so much, that I decided to photograph it and do an image around it.

The bark wood texture and alphabet border was rendered using a photoshop plugin called photoframe.
