Meadow magic.
(absolute highlight on yesterday's evening hike)
#SilentSunday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

Close up of a beautiful mountain meadow in full bloom, with wild flowers in yellows, violets, purples, whites, orange, pink...

A more zoomed portrait view of the same meadow with forest and mountain slopes in the background, all in fresh lush greens.

Snowdrops in the hollow of a tree.

Observing the spaces around me, whether it is the landscape, the built environment, or simply the places that I inhabit; finding that rare quality of beauty in the mundane and the every-day; creating memories that words cannot express.

(an impression from an early morning hike last July)
#ForestFriday #LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography

Photo of a small bay of a large mountain lake with rick green water, surrounded by lush mixed alpine forest. A small island (also forested) is further into the lake, outside the bay. A dense layer of gray, moody, deep hanging clouds is obstructing the view of the tall peaks in the background.

Bitter Willow & Mountain Pine by the lakeside.
(The beautiful blue backgrounds are the colors of the water)
#NaturePhotography #Photography #BloomScrolling

Close up picture of branches of a small bitter willow tree, with flowers and cotton-like fluff. The picture almost looks like a pattern of a kimono...

Macro photo of a single twig of a dwarf mountain pine with flowers at the tip. The background is a plain azure, the color of the nearby lake, completely out of focus.

Solace! Spirit cleansing.
(Incredible light on our morning hike today. So very grateful for these experiences, especially these days... 🙏)
#LandscapePhotography #NaturePhotography #MorningWalk

Photo of a step mountain slopes covered in dense forest, with the fresh green colors of early summer. The extremely hazy blue light is nicely emphasizing each layer/slope. Talus fields higher up, the peaks out of view. In the bottom third, the forest is getting some direct sunlight and is reflecting in the completely still surface of a large mountain lake. The light and entire scene has the character of a classic landscape painting.
