Abundance in a Parched Land

A wise spiritualist once said, “Abundance flourishes in a grateful heart.”

And so it is with the Sonoran Desert.  Even though rain is scarce, and the rocky soil has been baked for millennia, this desert explodes in an abundance of flora, fauna, and minerals that grace the land.  The desert has learned to be grateful for each drop of rain that falls.  The mountains share their portion with the valley below.  Seedlings wake up with only a tiny sprinkle.  The Saguaro cactus conserves the precious drops for times of drought.  And when the monsoon season returns, the desert drinks with gratitude, and the cycle of abundance is renewed again.

I too am grateful as I wander in this parched land with my camera in hand.  I give thanks to the desert for its wisdom and breathtaking beauty. And in return the desert gifts me with its abundant patience as I try to paint its soul.

Return to the ICMPhotoMag Beginnings Workshop Main Exhibition Page


Inspired by the Beginnings Workshops, Kaisa, Morag, and Stephanie are in the process of building a collaborative, continuous learning membership community, with a planned launch date of June 1st. 

This new initiative will bring many of the features of the 5-week intensive workshops to a collaborative, continuous learning community...one which offers an ongoing, rolling, monthly workshop-style environment, with new themes, content, live sessions, guest photographers, and much more each month....all with the goal of helping you grow in your ICM photography and inspiring you to tap more deeply into your own creativity...in a supportive, encouraging, safe atmosphere that will help nurture your artistic vision.

If you are interested in signing up to receive updates about membership community pre-launch activities, as well as to be notified first when the membership community is ready to open its doors and go live, please visit the link below and click the red button to send us an email.
