Fireflies flicker and dance over a summer meadow

Hello and welcome to my website!

The Poetry of Nature is a series of work that pairs macrophotography with poetry. Each one stanza poem tells the story of what the image could be if we allow nature to be sentient.

When I am out with my camera, if I let my imagination wander, everything comes alive. It's no longer three drops of water on a leaf, but a family of dew that's just finished a journey. More than a tendril vine, it's a lovers embrace.

These are the stories I see when I am out with my camera. So, I create a one stanza poem describing what I saw. You can read the poem by clicking on the image.

When people order prints, I include the poem along with the photo. On my greeting cards, the poem is on the back of the card.

Prints are available from my main website K Emlen Photography. My greeting cards can be found at Firefly Stationery and Gifts which is my online gift shop where I also offer Affirmtion Magnets and some poetry books. But please know, you can always E-mail me as I'd be happy to work with you directly.

Thank you for stopping by! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have, or, to simply say hello and share a nature story. :) ~Katharine
