marsowords is about connecting—finding variation and resemblance—between words, images, ideas, and people.
A summary thought
Aren’t we a life-long blend of so many things we cannot fully describe?
Isn’t every person, every home, a different micro-culture?
Communicating with anyone can be a sort of cross-cultural exchange.
A lifelong question—how to find the words. To understand and be understood.
To find understanding, even outside of words.
Who?
I post as marso, made of letters from both my first (Mary) and last names.
What?
Words and images posted at marsowords, unless otherwise credited, are by me.
This blog began as a place for poetry, then grew to include images, which, unless otherwise noted, are not altered with digital software, except for cropping, grouping, some color and white balance adjustments and softening of minor distractions.
To catch what else I’m doing visually, you can also visit See Diving.
When? Why?
I have always been engaged in art, writing and music. In pursuit of exploring possibilities, I began blogging experimentally to see where it may lead. Your responses are welcomed feedback!!
Where?
I live in the Bay Area of California. I used to travel a lot, adapting to other cultures. Now I rarely travel far from home.
Photography helps me enjoy what I most loved about traveling: feeling awake and aware , curious, open, unafraid.

Hello! Thank you for following Wandering Iris. I hope my stories entertain and inform and my photos bring you joy and wonderment. From the pictures that you posted on your blog, the countryside in Bosnia is very beautiful. To quote Mark Twain: “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” – Mark Twain. I will enjoy following your blog because I really like the photos you have posted.

I should say here that most of the pictures I post are from California.

That’s good because I have not been to Calif very often and need to travel there vicariously through other bloggers :)

I appreciate what you mean. Even when the photo is simply a window, sky or leaf, it’s interesting to see from another’s point of view, maybe in another part of the world. WordPress is “World” Press and we have our tickets to travel!
