"I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order" — John Burroughs

I had to head to the #forest to find some #peace and sanctuary away from the mess of humanity that we seem to be becoming.

It's a cold #Stunday, but maybe this glowing sunset over Puget Sound will warm everyone up.

#ColorADay #OrangeSun #photography #sunset #landscape #pnw #nature #wildflowers
A vibrant sunset casts a warm golden glow over a vast forest landscape in the Pacific Northwest. In the foreground, a grassy hillside features bright pink wildflowers and tall evergreen trees. The sun sits low on the horizon, sending rays of light across a misty valley toward the distant Puget Sound, which sits tucked between layers of blue hills under an expansive orange and lilac sky.

Took a lovely day trip out of #Seattle to #CapitolStateForest outside of #Olympia to hike the #MimaFalls trail. A bit chilly, but well worth it for a view of the #waterfall.

A cold sun glow providing som warm winter colors in the Pacific Northwest
#ColorADay #Green #BlueSkyArtShow #Cold #wintercolors #moss #sunglow #sunnyday #redleaves #pnwwinter #pnw #photography
A forest floor scene showcasing tree roots covered in green moss and red leaves on vines. The ground around the roots is also covered in green moss, and all of the moss is glowing in bright winter sunshine. Behind the roots are golden grasses and skinny tree trunks with blue sky above. This is a common winter scene in the Pacific Northwest with the moss and sunshine combined with cold windy temperatures.

a black and white photograph of a forest path, in the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area near Yachats, Oregon. the photo captures a moment on a dirt or trail that curves into the distance. tall, dense trees with textured bark line both sides of the path, creating a natural archway. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy, casting strong shadows and highlights on the trail and surrounding foliage.

Only about 10 more days until I am *hopefully* medically cleared for trail running again.

I really miss literally running into the woods to escape The Horrors
