Welcome!

Welcome! This is a place to share how we celebrate & deepen our relationship to Nature. Here you will find stories, images, & ideas about wilderness, human nature, & soulfulness. Drawing from the experiences of everyday living, the topics on this blog include: forays into the natural world, the writing life, community service, meditation, creativity, grief & loss, inspiration, & whatever else emerges from these. I invite you on this exploration of the wild within & outside of us: the inner/outer landscape.

Days 9-15

This week I continued creating landscape collages inspired by own photographs. How enjoyable and relaxing this is! (The photos I took of each collage do not always depict well what the textures and colors actually look like.) I display them below in the sequence in which I created them: top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right. (If I were not intent on displaying them in order, I would choose a different arrangement of the photographed collages based on color, place, or theme.) I’m also including here the actual landscape photographs. The collages this week include: Fort Ward on Bainbridge Island on Thanksgiving 2022; an Alaskan marsh in August 2008; pileated woodpeckers in my back yard in 2017; a paved pathway at Fort Ward in 2016; Engelbrecht Cave in Mt. Gambier, Australia on Oct. 23, 2022; Mama’s Island Sunrise on Vashon, WA on Oct. 7, 2022; and a moonrise on Halloween 2020 on Bainbridge Island.

Did I say yet how much fun I’m having?
