In this first edition of the Satori series, I hope to impart that flash of insight, presence, and understanding (Satori) of the natural world that I experienced while capturing these images. It is a celebration and appreciation of beauty in all forms and a reminder of our connectedness with each other and the universe. 10% of proceeds will be contributed to the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education (CAEE) in order to promote stewardship and responsible enjoyment of the natural places we cherish. Best wishes for 2009, Paul Schlarman
