...an enduring muse

#MotherNature #seasons #photography #Stunday #paintmeasky #art #daybyday
Barren trees and rusty yellow shrubs line the banks of a windswept lake. On the opposite bank a thick forest with tall evergreen trees. The sky is particularly vibrant & blue on this cold morning, tossing streaky clouds which glide effortlessly across the frame and lean into the curvature of the earth.

A narrow windy road bends between tall trees and muted autumn sunlight.

I like to imagine you there, behind a veil of crisp autumn air, beyond a beam of cool sun, barely out of reach yet stubbornly hidden from my mortal human eyes. Oh, how your light still shines as it walks with me.....

#words #photography #loss #humannature #grief
A little stone bridge crossing a small unseen gully. The path is gravel & dirt with golden leaves freckled across the surface. In the distance mostly barren trees & shrubs with tall evergreen interspersed. The sky is a hazy white with a beam of sunlight crossing the middle of the bridge. Path winds into the unknown.

drifting away from the expectation of others, feels rather lovely

A blue, blue body of water with small tree covered islands near and in the distance. The sky appears the same colour as the water and holds just a few wispy clouds.

A couple of branches of berries break the brownish grey sky on a damp December morn

a golden kiss from filtered sun

Vibrant autumn leaves thickly cover the forest floor. A collage of reds, greens, yellows, & rust illuminated by a low autumn sun. In the distance, through the tall trees, a little wooden bridge is partially visible. The sky is neutral and a little misty

Lions mane fungus growing on the underside (hard to get to) of a fallen tree. A bit of a dark photo...under a fallen tree🥺 but a little colour in the shroom & some rusty coloured ceder leaves.

in the quiet place

#lifeisbeautiful #amomentintime #photography #nature #reflection #shadows
The sun sets over a small cove on the pacific ocean. Night sky looms above the golden sinking sun promising forthcoming darkness. Tall trees are outlined on a small island in the middle of the dead calm water. Reflections from the sky cut the cove in two with the remainder of the day. Foreground tree limbs lean into the frame

Little forest portal, please deliver me to a place where life is slower & less fraught with yearning.Where people are kind with little effort & every human being matters.Please refuse evil to enter this peaceful place, we will manage exceedingly well without it.

Barren branches grow over a gravel path on a forest walk. A few golden leaves cling to the structure but most of the leaves are on the ground lining the path with a golden blanket. The pathway winds out of sight deeper into the forest.

beneath a low cold sun

#WaterWednesday #nature #brrrr #photography #stillness #spotlight #daybyday
Tall skinny evergreen trees line a small dark pond off a forest trail. Pine needles litter the forest floor which are illuminated by the low, cold sun. Shadow trees are visible in the still water of the pond

a fleeting moment of tranquility

#photography #nature #WaterWednesday #landscape #wellbeing #lifeisbeautiful
From an opening in the forest a glimpse of an autumnal colours surrounding a small body of water. Golden leaves lend colour to a gloomy day contrasting vibrantly with the grey sky

tranquility

#Scape #photography #reflection #landscape #nature #stillness #daybyday
Tall evergreen trees surround a green blue lake. At the waters edge, deciduous trees and autumn coloured bramble with a golden maple yet to shed its leaves. Reflection of the surrounding area is prominent in the water.

Is it longing or lonely, perhaps both? The yearning, the missing or the oneness of standing alone, who can say? I ponder this often in my quest to be kinder. If I feel these feels, then others do too, in that we are common & there's opportunity to share empathy & lift each other

#words #photography
A small algae covered pond surrounded by vibrant green brush in a forest with tall evergreen trees. At the end of the pond a small maple bursts with yellow leaves yet to fall. Pinkish ferns can be seen on either side of the murky water. The sky is neutral as seen between the tall skinny trees.

escaping thought

#photography #nature #stillness #abovethechatter #peace #drifting #wellbeing #mentalhealth
Looking outward from a small inlet. Both sides of the inlet support tall evergreen trees and barren shrubbery. The inlet winds away from the sight line. Muted colours of autumn dominate the pic with a little red from some distant branches. Sky is grey and reflects a purply grey in the still water

little moss on the tree, no problem, bundle up...nature works harmoniously with change..when it's time to let go, she lets go...when it's time to rest, she rests. when it's time to begin again, she's ready...she lives each moment fully engaged

#Scape #forestfriday #photography #nature #justbe #art
Moss covered branches extent from a large leaf maple which boasts a plethora of brilliant golden leaves. The branches are highlighted as they twist and turn beneath the canopy. Surrounded by forest, moss & grasses this big guy is not familiar with boundaries😂

a glimmer

#Scape #photography #nature #nodaybuttoday
The sun reveals itself through cloudy skies in the clearing of the bush. Tall trees frame blackberry bushes illuminating their golden/rusty leaves. Most of the frame is in shadow creating a a warmth on the highlighted shrubs. The sun appears eye shaped as it tries to burn off the persistent cloud. A splotch of blue sky threatens at the top of frame.

...the joy of the day did not escape them, for they had realized the powerful force of togetherness was infinitely more mighty than any destructive foe...💙

A group of shrooms gather closely together on the edge of a fallen tree. The forest is visible in the background with ferns and tall skinny trees.

Bordering the ocean, a red dirt path winds cliff side through an ancient forest. Tall trees, right of frame, lean over the path towards the sea. Green grass & moss surrounds the clearing. The ocean is partially visible and is fairly quiet save for a few tiny waves.

Autumn picnic anyone? I'll bring the cocoa🍂

#BlueSkyArtShow #Autumn #photography #nature
Side view of a large leaf maple in greens & golds. The ground is littered with leaves in rust tones. Abandoned picnic tables dot the field that is bordered by shrubbery and additional tall trees. The ocean is visible in the far distance although not a highlight of this frame.

Several bunches of waxy shrooms all living on a moss covered fallen tree. They're a tight bunch, nestled among the pine needles, and knowing that we're better together

Sunset, paint me a sky so I have faith in the dawn. Make it bold yet warm. Make it triumphant yet embracing. Paint me a sky full of promise, so that tomorrow I will be hopeful.

Sunrise over Chesterman Beach, Tofino BC. Pinky/purple clouds hover over a distant mountain in the background. Foreground a small outcrop with tall trees. The tide is low with a few sand bars. The water that remains is reflecting the sky, mountain and trees
