The Little Things

It’s the little things in nature that often bring us the most pleasure! What I loved about this is that the boulder, with a red maple growing on it, shifted at some time making the tree lean…the little offshoot in fall color is what’s special to me. I think it gives balance to an otherwise chaotic scene.

Where Peace Resides

I went for a hike yesterday afternoon following this stream, no path and treacherous footing, and I broke my tripod. So, all of these images were taken at 1.6 seconds with the camera handheld; seemed like an eternity. I didn’t take as many photos as I wanted and in frustration I sat here for awhile…I would trade a tripod for this place any day! I’ll return to this stream later today…

A Walk in the Woods

Clear your head in
A place of peace
Let yourself breath
Whilst woods songs
Dance in your ears
Smell the deep damp
Of the forest floor
Live for awhile
Walk through nature’s door
