About Bo Mackison

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. Please subscribe to receive my five part mini email course The Gifts of the Desert. It's my gift to you.

    Love the composition on this one! I keep thinking I need to duck down and get beneath it. I LOVE that!

  3. Wow, that is such an interesting photo! I also love the red coloring!

  4. This one is very intriguing. It seems to be growing out at the same time it is growing in. And the colors and shapes seem to suggest inner turmoil or conflict.

  5. It reminds me of a geyser caught in slow motion or freeze framed.

  6. The colors on this are just captivating. Now there is something I have never seen.

  7. I’ve never seen anything like that before. I think we have hickories all around.

  8. Floodlit says : I absolutely agree with this !
