A late summer day –
a bit of rain here and there,
and sun.
It was cool
in the mountains.
Perfect
for a walk among giants.

Sometimes I really think you can take decent photos of a fantastic place and it gets attention. It’s as much, or more, about the place as it is about skill. But that’s OK. I am so glad I moved here!

What a lovely forest and beautiful photos! Looks a lot like our forests, but your trees are much larger and plants species more southern.

It does not freeze much here so that changes things. That and a lot of rain allow for huge growth. Good to hear from you!

Trees! Yes, there were fabulous trees in the desert, which surprised me. And the bark – the older trees have such heavily gnarled bark, it’s wonderful.
