Welcome to Blue Quarry
The name Blue Quarry was initially inspired by the stone quarry that bordered our previous home. The once noisy, dusty quarry is now filled with water and has become a peaceful and scenic, blue oasis. It provides a home for a microcosm of underwater creatures and a seasonal respite for many different species of beautiful, graceful birds.
I love knowing how something that started out so invasive, harsh and apathetic with regard to the wildlife that existed there before (if you’ve ever experienced a blast from a working stone quarry you’ll know what I mean) was eventually reclaimed by nature. It feels extremely symbolic to me, and very fitting.

Today, I am living with my husband and our little Shi-Poo Sofi in sunny Colorado. The skies here are such a beautiful shade of blue, we’ve been told Sherwin Williams even named a paint color after it so the color blue is even doubly significant.
