sometimes you find a little opening & life feels better

#photography #Stunday #nature #theviewfromhere #wellbeing
In the shadow of the forest looking through a clearing to a blue, blue ocean. Large rocks line the tree covered cliff that overlooks the sound. In the distance tree covered land masses sit upon the sea. The sky is deep blue with a couple of streaky clouds

shedding yesterday

#Stunday #photography #nature #don'tlookback #nodaybuttoday #wellbeing #bepresent #movingon
A rocky red dirt path winds between deeply rooted tall evergreen trees in a dense forest. Ferns, ivy, leaves & debris dot the forest. Roots are visible along the path as the giants stretch their ancient legs. In the distance a low hanging sun illuminates the just beyond and throws a warm light on the path ahead.

Four little shrooms huddle together atop a moss covered fallen tree. A little brown leaf keeps them company as they look forward into a densely populated forest. Moss covered branches can be seen twisting and turning over the leaf covered dirt path. A hopeful hint of blue sky in the distance is visible between the every steady trunks of tall trees.

There was no denying it, she was beautiful, both a blessing and a curse her entire life yet she endured....

A little, super tiny shroom growing out of dense moss & grass on a fallen tree. Rusty pine needles are littered about and in the distance two other wee shrooms can be seen but are blurred

a welcome surprise on a gloomy day

Tall trees silhouetted and misty reach towards a break in the grey sky. Between horizontal lines of darkness a fiery beam of sunset encourages not all is grim.

A seaweed strewn strip of empty beach in a small cove looking out to the Olympic Peninsula. Logs and driftwood hug the shoreline, bits & pieces everywhere with the forest reaching over trying to reach the shore. A rock jetty is visible part way down the beach. The sky is dramatic with fast moving cloud streaked in shades of gold and blue..

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

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.

Take a minute to look in to nature, to really look & you'll discover how intensely beautiful our planet is & realize how much we miss as we hurry, hurry, hurry. Slow down, make room for a little magic. Nature will not disappoint, she never does

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

On its way out in a blaze of glory🎉

A smoke bush tree changing colour before the final fall, beneath a clear blue sky. Normally a deep burgundy, every year it is the most dramatic tree on my property! We give it space to be spectacular! It slowly turns yellow/pink & purple and when the sun hits it well...it's epic!

Ode to the sky that cracks the night in silent wonder gifting colour to many shuttered eyes. Joyful music in the tentative peep of a sleepy bird. Blissful quiet before the busy. How I cherish you beautiful world, the light you share, the air I breathe, I wake grateful ❤️

A fiery red sunrise with hues of pink, purple & blue. Foreground tall evergreen trees stand steady and the day begins.

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

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
