There you are, the things that are yours for the asking, if only you get yourself out there.

Such a mysterious edge to these lovely photos June, which left me feeling pensive :)

A photo-story. I like what you're seeing. I hope you were walking while snapping.

Ah, lovely. The fall season is filled with life going to sleep for the winter. These pictures show all that somehow.

Gathering in. I love how the fog settles like that.

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote

“Woods, A Prose Sonnet”


Wise are ye, O ancient woods! wiser than man.
Whoso goeth in your paths or into your thickets where no paths are,
readeth the same cheerful lesson whether he be a young child or a hundred years old.
Comes he in good fortune or bad, ye say the same things, & from age to age.
Ever the needles of the pine grow & fall, the acorns on the oak, the maples redden in autumn,
& all times of the year the ground pine & the pyrola bud & root under foot.
What is called fortune & what is called Time by men—ye know them not.
Men have not language to describe one moment of your eternal life.
This I would ask of you, o sacred Woods, when ye shall next give me somewhat to say,
give me also the tune wherein to say it.
Give me a tune of your own like your winds or rain or brooks or birds;
for the songs of men grow old when they have been often repeated,
but yours, though a man have heard them for seventy years, are never the same, but always new,
like time itself, or like love.
