FORESTS

Radiant Forest

The once and future autumn... reminiscent of another era, another art form. It touched her mind and heart in ways even she could not fathom.

The Hobbity Road

... and up and up it went, the Hobbity Road. It went past the lakes, past the gnarly bend trees, up the makeshift stairs and up into the mist. And then, it would seem a traveler disappeared. Taken at Donner Lake, CA

Path of Light and Mist

You are invited... to a gathering by the lake. Just follow the steps and the light and the sweet gentle mist. The wisps will show you the way.

Peaceful Past

Wright's Station, Santa Cruz Mountains, CA Soon, it'll be a torrent. But for now... it's simply thoughtful, peaceful, colorful painting of the past.

Tea Leaves of the Past

Wright's Station, Santa Cruz Mountains, CA This spread of leaves once told a story... of fortunes gained and bounty lost. Of men who worked in hopes of glory... of true love gained at any cost.

Delicate Veil

Central Park, New York With her veil and stately countenance, she bore herself with a bit more glamour than the rest. It only added to her mystery. Fuji X-T1 55-200mm lens

Passages

In honor of those who lived majestically...

Up Lushly Hill

"Where?" they asked. "How?" they wondered. "Lushly", she whispered. Then smiled enigmatically.

The Mighty Spiral

Life is full of twists and turns... and so, perhaps are you. But there is nothing to do, ever, but continue reaching for the Light.

Stand Down

Stand down you fool, you stand no chance. I'll trample you without a glance. If you persist in this idiot's folly I'll have no choice and it won't be jolly.

Meet

Let's meet... think lofty thoughts... have bright ideas... and remember this day as one of the best... ever.

Tall Trees

Tall trees doing what tall trees do...tower. Also, be ancient, awesome and mysterious. Redwoods are always up to the task. Go redwoods!

Forest Rider

Running fast through a forest who is standing slow. Contrasts. Always educational.

The Weight of Gold

The weight of gold may have been pricey on the soul, but everyone still leaned in and paid attention.

Crossing the Fall Line

I'd never been to Rock City Before. Fall colors: sublime. Dose of magic: perfection Desire to visit again: absolute.

Shining Down

She looked up - and was greeted by the realization that squinting before throwing your eyeballs into the sun was never a bad idea.

Tree Legs

If Redwood Trees could walk...

The Crowning Glory

What can I say? It's just the name that occurred to me when I looked up and saw this at Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park in Felton, CA last week. The combo of fall maples and ancient redwoods was so stunning, everywhere I looked. But this arrangement was just so... crowning! I wandered around in there for hours and hours on a rainy day, with the misty, muted light and glisteny surfaces everywhere. And the fresh, earthy, woodsy aroma... ahhhhhh. Maybe you'll take a moment to take it all in today. Take a breath. Have a moment. Let me know how that goes. :))

Behind The Curtain

Truckee, CA Peeking out from behind the curtain. Is one way to be there. And yet not.

Snowy Destiny

Truckee, CA Water, snow and destiny partner up to create their own map, blaze their own trails. I watch and learn. Gallery: Landscapes/The Forested

Prince of the Forest

Truckee, Ca He watched, waited, learned. Stood at the feet of giants, weathered every storm. He was, after all the Prince of the kingdom. One day, it would all be his. Gallery: Landscapes/The Forested

The Tree Queen

The all-spark ignited. The Tree Queen and gazed lovingly over her domain and smiled. It was the beginning of Grace in her land.
