nature

The beauty of nature is what gets me through each day. I'm interested in all things related to geography and the environment. This blog is a mix of photos that I have taken and pictures from others.

Nestled below the San Francisco Peaks in northern Arizona, between the Painted Desert and the ponderosa highlands, Wupatki National Monument sits at a cultural and ecological crossroads. Eight hundred years ago, these pueblos would have been filled with laughter, joy, and hope. Turquoise, macaws, shells, and pottery were all brought here as either trade or tribute. Across this quiet landscape, the ancestors of 14 modern tribes built homes, raised families, farmed, traded, and thrived. Today, Wupatki stands as a living legacy for people who still call this place home. Photo courtesy of Brad Sutton (@texsutton).

Somewhere in Nowhere

November 28, 2020

Having grown up on suburaban Long Island, where houses and towns are packed together and life seems like an endless maze where you are racing from corporate parks to stripmalls, I’m naturally fascinated with the wide open spaces of the west. These were taken off US 26 near Warm Springs and Madras.

Whatever is real about life in these places evades my imagination, and maybe that is my point–the social never intrudes on the vista: in places like this, I feel closer to whatever makes the world and the universe.

First major snowfall in the area causing the branches to droop over and create a tunnel like effect on one of our go to trails. Southern Ontario doesn’t have the Rockies but this hike was a good one.
