Good morning🕊️ Waking to the gentle rhythm of rain has caused such a feeling of happiness, realizing just how deeply I've missed it. I'm heading to the woods to breathe in the sweet smell of petrichor & listen to the forest exhale a grateful sigh Wishing you a peaceful day #photography #nature
Looking into the forest from a mossy fallen tree. Autumn is evident in this photo with leaves turning rapidly with the season. Rusty maple leaves are strewn along the dirt path keeping the fallen sticks company on the forest floor. A tiny trail bordered by ferns leads to more changing trees all peaceful beneath a grey/blue sky

A weathered Adirondack chair sits on dryer than dry grass perched atop ancient bedrock & facing the Pacific ocean. The sky is overcast and moving, textured clouds stream by exposing San Juan Island in the distance. The cragginess of the rocks hold long dried moss & lichen. 
This chair holds the weight of memories....morning walk

Nature's speed bumps, interrupting our hurried steps, an invitation to slow down... #photography #nature #takeiteasy #wellbeing #daybyday
gnarled above ground roots line a very dry dirt trail which is smattered with fallen maple leaves and winds its way through a changing forest

Good afternoon, kind people It's been a great day here on the island Autumn is progressing nicely. It's 18℃, change is in the air & it's good to feel hopeful I'm having a cheeky 4:00pm wine & wanted to wish you all a sensational week ahead Be good to yourselves💕 #photography #Stunday #words
Bright red maple leaves hanging on to stick like branches...there's heaps of leaves, a celebration of red

magic isn't still-it's a breathless wild dance #photography #nature #art #Stunday #autumn #magic #lifeisbeautiful
On one of my walks this week I paused for a moment to feel this moment. The sunlight streaming through the forest and illuminating impossible skinny moss covered seedling trees shedding their leaves that have turned a golden/brown. The distant forest blurred as I watched the leaves dance in their spiral, the wind assisting their fall. Birdsong filled the air & the noise of the world disappeard

A wide open vista on a still blue lake. The lake is surrounded by old growth forest, some evergreen & some in various stages of change. Reeds are illuminated by sunlight mid frame. The blue, blue sky is reflected in the calm waters and a cheeky low cloud hovers over the distant shore, also reflected in the lake. A perfect autumn day, cool, crisp and invigorating..this mornings walk💕

A shady forest photo looking into a spot that is illuminated by a misty sunbeam. The quiet of the shade causes the changing leaves to glow in the distance, a wordless space with a promise you can only hear without distraction.

A well defined leaf strewn path leads through a heavily forested area with low dense foliage. The leaves are in various states of change and the sky is a soft blue. The path winds into the unknown all but covered by overhead vegetation.

Tall moss covered skinny maples standing on bedrock in the process of change, their leaves golden & rust beneath the midday sun. They belong to a forest dense with foliage and trees impossibly growing on moss covered rock. A hint of blue peeks through the treetops barely visible through the thick foliage

Good morning, lovely friends💕 May today bring you happiness & treat you gently. I hope you find a quiet moment to simply pause, breathe in the fresh air, and remember - you have the strength to face whatever lies ahead. Enjoy this beautiful day🕊️ #photography #nature #encouragement #community
This is going to be a bit of a climb! Rustic steps made of wood & dirt run up from a deep ravine. Lining the incline, the traces of autumn are unmistakable. Maple leaves, dried and fallen lie everywhere in the forest bramble. A few ferns hanging on but looking less than themselves as they succumb to drought. A tall thick trunk tree overhangs the stairs, it's branches reaching out and holding frilly moss. The end of the forest staircase is not visible but promises of blue sky peek through the tree branches closer to the top. A very autumn like photo. This is the first time I've walked through this forest that there hasn't been a river running, no sound, very strange & concerning. To witness the dry riverbed is to feel the very real consequences of our shifting climate.

Today, I hiked 8km for the first time in 3.5 months It felt wonderful to move without much limitation, I'm so incredibly grateful! My pup & I stopped right here to celebrate🎉 Thought I'd share a little blue sky with my bsky friends Hope today brought you moments of joy💕🕊️ #photography #gratitude
Sitting on bedrock overlooking the pacific ocean with the almost bare Olympic Peninsula faintly across the sea. Foreground, a very dry shrub sits right in frame (our drought continues) Small chunks of bedrock line the sea, wee islands of separation. The craggy shoreline is in full sun & the ocean is really calm, just a few ripples. Blue on blue, sky & sea with a hint of marine mist shrouding the mountain range

Sunlight streams through a shady forest on a September morning. The light illuminates the changing leaves enhancing their golden change. A well defined path in partial sunlight makes it way through a peaceful forest. No time for worries here, just easy breath & gentle thoughts

A wide red dirt path strewn with autumn leaves winds its way into an old growth forest. Adjacent to the path a simple low wooden fence curves softly & is surrounded by forest bramble. Giant evergreen, mostly Douglas fir, form a gateway to the beyond which boasts maple trees in various stages of change....my morning walk today

Yesterday I found this little buddy growing up the side of a piece of driftwood & I felt happy. Life can be gutting, yet if you look for simple joy it doesn't feel quite as ominous. I hope today you encounter something that causes a smile💕 #gratitude #bloomscrolling #photography #nature

Good day, good people💕 Today I'm opting for a lazy stroll-no rushing, just slowing down to soak in all the beauty that's unfolding. I hope today finds you well & brings you peace🕊️ #wellbeing #photography #nature #time #lazySaturday #lookaround #lifeisbeautiful
A little stone bridge over a small ravine(not pictured) bordering a well defined dirt path. The trees that overhang the little bridge are changing with the season, still greenish but leaning into gold. Fallen leaves litter the bridge & trail. The end of the trail is not visible as it bends and winds out of sight. Sky is not visible but clouds are making it feel even more like autumn

I paused for a moment this morning thinking about the state of the world & how it can be wildly depressing & feel quite impossible. Then, I looked around & saw the sun illuminating a small meadow, quietly being beautiful. Did it solve anything? No. But it felt a little hopeful🕊️ #photography #words
Standing next to a giant of a trunk sporting rich green moss in it's textured bark. Holly bushes grow at the root line & beyond is a small sun field patch of meadow amid tall seed trees & ferns. A hint of blue sky peeks through the trees mid way up their solid trunks

Two old, tall & dug in trees form a gateway of sorts on a forest trail. The trees roots reach towards each other creating a bit of a bumpy start. Rust coloured leaves are strewn throughout the red dirt path which winds it's way from shadow to sunlit ferns handing onto their green. The distant forest is visible,dense & welcoming.

A manicured red dirt path winds its way through a partially sunlit forest. Ivy and bramble lines the path which is also strewn with rusty leaves from lack of rain in our area. Mid frame a tall tree overhangs the path with just enough room to walk comfortably

I woke this morning thinking about how friendships ebb & flow for no particular reason, like seasons changing or leaves drifting apart in a river. The distance doesn't erase the warmth of your experience or your gratitude for that experience. It just opens another door.. #words #photography #nature

Interesting root base on this big guy! Thick moss covered trunks emerge from a semi flat above ground root base covered in forest bramble and maple leaves. A perfect perch to have a sit! Beyond the shady seat a sunlit spot heading into the forest with encouraging blue sky beyond

A gnarly old Arbutus (Madrona) tree grows aside a red dirt path, it's roots covered in green moss.. It clings to the side of a cliff with a few other trees all deeply rooted in this steep incline. Beside the edge of the cliff the Pacific Ocean quite a ways down.
