I resonate with the culture of the lands I live on now, those of the first ones here. I feel compelled to honor these indigenous people. Among their traditions is to make an offering to the earth before any important event; each day we are alive qualifies in my world!
I view my daily images – as a humble offering, a prayer to you, my community. My hope is that each picture offers an opportunity to pause for a moment of quiet to listen, and remember, our home.
I have days when I feel like this thistle. I just want to be left alone amidst the beautiful and terrible world that surrounds me.

Elizabeth…it looks like you are no longer on the Lumper list. Was that by your request, or did I somehow remove you? If you would like to be on it so you can see the pictures I post, and sometimes Barbara Berryman, let me know. Sigrid Freese303-929-8637
