“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you,
and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.”
–John Muir
Hope this finds you doing well wherever it finds you. It’s amazing how quickly the seasons pass. As I edit these photos from the fall, the branches, now barren, whisper of the coming snows. Imagine, in the Southern Hemisphere it is hinting of Spring.

thanks for the reblog!
Russ, these photographs fill my heart, as always. Thank you for sharing.
I appreciate you stopping by!
Since Philip and I left northern CA, I’ve always tried to stay up on your whereabouts and the places you are photographing. Gives me a taste of where I haven’t been! ~heather
I thought I’d settle down by now but I can’t.seem to stop traveling. What to do?
These are beautiful! I love how well color has been captured in these pictures. I especially love “Scene along the Blue Ridge Parkway”. it is as if someone has painted all these colors together. Like a rainbow floating on the ground.
It is just like that, indeed. Thanks for the kind words!
Fall and Spring are my favorite times of the year!!! I love how the leaves catch the sun in both these seasons!!!
Hey Charley, yeah, there is a certain quality in the light in the edge seasons. The sun being so low in the South, the way that light courses through the forest. You’re going to make me write a poem. haha.
Awh so beautiful!! I like the views!
I’m glad you do! Thanks for visiting…
