I'm a photographer, book-artist, traveler, naturalist, and creator of the Contemplative Creatives Journey, An Online Workshop and Community and Desert Wisdom Cards and Workshops. Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you.

  7. To all: Thank you for the comments.
    Aiyana and Kml: The haiku is th last bit of fun for me.

  8. Why’s everyone looking at this post? It’s a very striking photo, but hey there’s no snow. What gives? ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. Gandalf ~ you really have got to let go of this snow fixation. Think golf or fishing… anything but snow! We have had enough snow.

    If you are going through snow withdrawal, go through the December through March Archives and enjoy all that white stuff. Brrr! But don’t expect any more snow shots on Seeded Earth until at least November.

    Now hush! ๐Ÿ™‚

  10. all right – no snow for now.
