About this Product
Spirits come to guide you on a midnight vision quest in this esoteric, surreal, desert landscape photo. Nature print with poem.
"Alone the night I must spend
With stars and cacti to be my friend
To merge with the desert and become one
So I'll see my vision when it come"
TITLE: SAGUARO NIGHT
This magical desert landscape suggests spirits coming to visit during a midnight vision quest. Amazing what patters appear in melting pond ice! The poem came to me when the cactus appeared and I floated over the mesas.
SAGUARO NIGHT will come with its poem included on a separate sheet of paper unless you choose "Poetry Print." Poetry Prints are 8x10 and feature the photo and poem side by side. You can see an example of one in the slide show above.
All photographs have a thin white border around the image to help with matting and framing. They will come hand signed, with their poem, in a protective Mylar sleeve.
If you prefer art that is ready to hang, I also offer prints on canvas, metal and wood. Canvas works especially well with these images as it gives them the look and feel of a painting, metal will make them shiny and vibrant, and prints on wood have a grainy, rustic feel.
Saguaro Night is also available as a Greeting Card.

The Poetry of Nature
Meet the Maker
Hello! Welcome to my shop. My name is Katharine Emlen and I am the writer / photographer behind The Poetry of Nature.
Nothing brings me greater joy than being outside in this beautiful world of ours. Nature, I find, provides the most wonderful canvas, no matter where you look. I have seen tremendous beauty in dying leaves, personalities hanging out in ditches, and remarkable compositions in the most unlikely of places.
Sometimes, I pretend I am an ant, because if I were an ant, those itty-bitty water drops would be pillows to rest upon, that blade of grass a slide, and the dew covered wheat, a jungle gym for play.
I tend to get lost in my imagination and I allow nature be alive...it's not just three drops on a leaf, but a family of travelers, not just a twisted tendril, but a lover's embrace...
When I allow Nature to be sentient, I see all sorts of stories within her. They are the same as ours! Triumph, struggle, comfort, joy....I see it in the twist of a tendril, patterns in ice, the way the water drops sit on the curve of a leaf.
Usually, I stumble upon these stories. And when I do, I hear a poem in my head, so I include it with the image. This is why I call this my work, The Poetry of Nature.
Thank you for stopping by!

How it’s Made
Hello,
and thank you for visiting my shop.
I have to admit, I have a crush on Nature! How can I not when she's so exquisite?
All of my photographs were taken less than 6 inches from the ground. I use a small pocket camera that lets me get close up and intimate. I tend to get lost in my imagination when I take my photos, but that is when the stories appear and I hear poetry in my head. Every poem is specific to the image and tells the story of what it could be if we allow Nature to be sentient.
I do use a professional photo lab to print my work so please allow up to 7 days of processing time before I can ship to you, but often it is much less. I will send the poem to you on a separate sheet of paper, unless you choose the option to have them side by side in a poster format.
Thank you for stopping by! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have, or, simply to say hello and share a Nature story!

PROCESSING TIME
All of my photographs are printed to order using a professional photo lab. Because of this it can take up to 5 days of processing time before I can ship to you. So please allow 7-10 days from when you order until you receive your photo with poem.
Greeting cards will be shipped right away. :)
POEM
The poem will be included on a separate sheet of paper, allowing you to choose if it is part of your display. Although "Poetry Posters" are unique options as they pair the image and poem side by side. You can see what this looks like in the photos offered for each image.

If you are unhappy with your image I am happy to offer a refund once the photograph has been returned. I am also happy to exchange it for a different one of the same size, once the original has been returned. Returns and exchanges are accepted up to two weeks from reciept of order.
INTERNTIONAL
I do not yet offer Digital Downloads, but I am more than happy to ship without the sturdy board backing to save on weight. Please contact me if interested and I will work with you on the most economical way to get you your Poetry of Nature print.
Thank you!
