The female of the local Red-tailed Hawk couple. She is taking a break after an unsuccessful hunt; she dove into the marsh but came up empty.

Sunrise. Cascade foothills. Thick fog through the conifers, glowing yellow clouds behind the trees line, gray clouds above with a bird in flight.

"But a hare, now, that is a different thing altogether. A hare is not a pet but a person. Hares are clever and brave and loving, and they have fairy blood in them. It’s a grand thing to have a hare for a friend." ~ Elizabeth Goudge

Early morning at Derwentwater in January. Blue skies with white fluffy clouds reflected in the calm lake. A thin veil of mist is lifting over the lake. The boat moorings are reflected in the water. Soft light and within 15 minutes the whole of the lake was bathed in glorious winter sunshine.

A January morning at Derwentwater, Keswick in the Lake District. Lifting mists over the lake and a lovely calm cold morning. Within 15 minutes the whole lake was bathed in winter sunshine.

A fiery sunrise over the pacific ocean. Two jetty's stretch out into the bay from a tree covered land mass. Across the textured water a mountain range set aglow by the rising sun. Birds can be seen in two places, just above the mountains, and far left in shadow

she writes a silent manifesto
every day
she knows no borders
she works to heal
the scars that we create
build a cage
she covers it with vine
spill blood
her tears bring
a soft bed of moss
her gift to us
fragile
yet still we war

A View looking towards the sky while standing in the middle of a pine forest of trees.

My final day in the Forest of Dean. The forest is a connected community. Underneath these trees and looking towards the sky, many lessons for humans and humanity in how we need to be more like trees.

Looking through an opening in a cave that is shaped like a flame, a small white cloud is in the upper taper. There is very bright blue sky, then rock formations that are tall and pointed and echo the opening of the cave. Two points are visible in the image. The rocks are mottled white, gray and brown. In the foreground is the silhouette of a bush. One can barely distinguish the red color of the cave interior. Cappadocia, Turkey

Some paths are not crowded,
yet they change you the most.

As the line of light stretches into infinity,
even solitude becomes a direction. ✨

Every station is a pause,
and every pause is a new beginning. πŸš†
