Feels like autumn, Oregon Cascades.

Winter ferns

I liked the symmetry of this fern. These seem to get green in winter.

Forest Shrine

This stone on a hillside looks like a natural altar or shrine.

Old Man of the Forest. This hanging moss is called old man's whiskers, and some say its edible. Depends on how hungry you are.

Mossy stones along the river in winter.

Twin Giants

Western Red Cedar.

Woodlands Wednesday.

Harmony

These ferns were perfectly symmetric, and served as a starting point for several mandala images.

Spring Oak Grove

Spring Oak Grove.

Deep Roots

This tree started many years ago growing on an old stump or nurse tree.

Cedar Grove in Spring

I love the softness of these greens.

Spring Maple

The light was shining thru the canopy on this maple. I love the bright yellow-green colors of spring.

Heart Meadow

This meadow is on the edge of a beaver pond, surprisingly close to a main road.

Deep in Spring

I love the rich colors of Spring.

Spring Grove

A natural clearing in the forest.

A New Leaf

A sprig of a Locust Tree, over layered with wood grain texture.

Oregon Roots

Nurse tree: a new tree is growing on an old log. The huge log eventually rots away, and will leave the newer tree with exposed roots.

Misty Morning

Catch your Dreams before they slip away.

Hidden Worlds

Mushroom growing in a hollow under a log.

Faery Land

Magical mushrooms. Lots of them.

Glowing Ferns

Back lit ferns, from yesterdays walk in the park. The sun lit these ferns for only a few minutes.

Glistening

Glistening wet moss and water drops.

Frost on Forest Floor

Waves of Green

I like the directional flow of these ferns, which were growing on a tree trunk.
