The Sol Duc forest captures my fancy when I am here. The variance of color, especially the verdant mosses are amazing. Add a little moving water for ambience and soon the entire scene is complete.

The city of Steamboat Springs is a Home Rule Municipality that is the county seat and the most populous city of Routt County, Colorado, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 12,088.
The city is an internationally known winter ski resort destination. The Steamboat Springs tourism industry is highlighted by Steamboat Ski Resort, which is on Mount Werner in the Park Range just east of the town. It also contains the much smaller Howelsen Ski Area.
It is located in the upper valley of the Yampa River, along U.S. Highway 40 just west of the Continental Divide and Rabbit Ears Pass. It is served by Yampa Valley Airport (ICAO: KHDN), which is located approximately 25 miles to the west near Hayden, CO via U.S. 40.
History
The area surrounding Steamboat Springs was originally inhabited by the Yampatikas Utes, who hunted in the valley during the summer. Trappers began to move through the area during the first decades of the 19th century. Ranchers eventually followed in the 1870s, and ranching traditions are still preserved by the large ranching community. The native Utes were forcibly removed from the area to a reservation in Utah by the U.S. Army starting in 1879.
Steamboat is home to natural hot springs that are located throughout the area. Upon first hearing a chugging sound, early settlers believed that a steamboat was coming down the river. When settlers saw that there was no steamboat, and that the sound was coming from a hot springs, they decided to name the town Steamboat Springs.
Originally, skiing was the only method of transportation during harsh and snowy Rocky Mountain winters. In turn, the popularity of skiing as a winter pastime catalyzed development of the town and other communities all over the Rocky Mountains. In 1913, Carl Howelsen, a Norwegian, moved to town and introduced ski jumping. Howelsen built the first jump on Howelsen Hill, now part of the Howelsen Ski Area. He also founded the annual Winter Carnival, a celebration still held each winter. The festival includes ski racing and jumping, dog sledding, and chariot events down Lincoln Avenue, the city's main street. Light shows on both Mount Werner and Howelsen Hill are highlights.
The Steamboat Ski Resort was largely established by two local men, Jim Temple and John Fetcher. Temple led the effort to develop the area. Fetcher, a local rancher, was the main designer and builder. The resort opened on what was then called Storm Mountain in 1963.
In 1974, The Industrial Company (TIC) was started in Steamboat Springs and has since grown into one of the largest industrial construction companies in the United States with revenues of approximately $2 billion in 2007. The company is one of the largest employers in Routt County and has more than 9,000 employees worldwide.
In 1993, the City Council of Steamboat Springs, Colorado conducted a poll of its residents to choose a new name for the bridge that crossed the Yampa River on Shield Drive. With 7,717 votes, the winning name was "James Brown Soul Center of the Universe Bridge". The bridge was officially dedicated in September 1993, and James Brown appeared at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the event.

I just paid a visit to an old friend of mine.
He's doing some cattle farming way down the Black Forest.
Captured a few shots on available light.
Beautiful carpet of wild flowers cover the floor of the burnt forest. Captured in Montana.
View in large size.
It was a foggy August morning in San Francisco which made for a perfect day for being in the forest; capturing the mystique and lush foliage of the forest floor.
I was hoping it would have been a clear day out on this day because I wanted to catch the beautiful colors in the sunrises and sunsets, but I just had to make do with what is supposed to be one of the foggier months of the year.
Catching up with my fave spot of Toronto's mixed forest :-)
Captured quite a few interesting moments in this spot during February... but first wanted to share this dramatic "after sunset" scene I witnessed recently.

You are most welcome to look through the set or you may like to see it as a slide show.
*** Happy Textured Wednesday! ...at The World Through My Eyes
A fantastic view of Cave Run Lake in the Daniel Boone National Forest. Captured east of Windy Bay Fishing Point. Although mainly a fishing area, this location is frequently used for swimming and other activities. Beautiful and peaceful, this is one of my favorite sites at Cave Run.

I love the dice roll of ICM. This shot feel like a forest captured within a block of old glass.

This is the second image in a Layered Series that I will be posting. All will be the same subject-- the early morning Kettle Moraine Forest, captured from atop the Parnell Tower. But there will be a considerable difference in the appearance of the images due to my changes in post-processing.
The final outcome of the same image can be dramatically different depending on the 'developing' or processing workflow. I thought it would be fun to show these variances in this series... Hope you enjoy!

...back to my fave spot of Toronto's Mixed Forest....
Captured this scene on one misty blue hour.in March. I liked how the residual pink light of the sunset painted the skies and gradually melted in the blue mist... I'll never tire of this spot and the blue hour I think :-)

BEST SEEN IN BLACK BOX -press the letter 'L'
Ever noticed how the leaves, on the tops & most outward growth of most trees & shrubs, are always the largest, fullest, healthiest leaves of the tree.
These leaves and the branches they grow from are the year's new growth, and this is where the plant cells are dividing & reproducing the fastest. It only occurs on this season's new twig growth. A plants version of 'stem cell' growth ...pardon the pun on 'stem'.
Due do the excessive healthiness of this new growth, they are generally more resistant to weather conditions & disease & they are most often the last leaves to fall. After a tree or bush has lost 99.99% of it leaves, these last 'hangers-on' create the beautiful splashes of color sprinkled throughout the forest after the fall colors have disappeared.
This capture is of an even age birch stand meaning the canopy of the forest is all at the same height. With the leaves gone, the camera is able to penetrate the forest capturing more of the forests depth. The newer birch growth in the foreground is the forest's edge. These young trees demonstrate even higher rate of this fast growth phenomenon & often have more leaves remaining.
The last leaves at the top of this forest's crown have now been taken by the winds, leaving beautiful splashes of color in the lower more sheltered areas.
This image is captured in the lake's reflection, creating textures of light & color similar to the brush strokes of an impressionist's brush strokes.

I like to photograph trees... something intriguing about them... I'm having some photos of forests in my archives... But I didn't know that I'm having some Venus forest captures until my husband processed one of my images... He started to work on a new musical project about exploring the outer space... And currently he is on Venus :-)
You are welcome to listen to Deep Forest of Venus by Julian Ray
Cheers! Happy Sunday to all! :-)
My daughter and I spent a great day hiking in Huntsville State Park and then hiked around a bit in Sam Houston National Forest. Captured this shot on a hiking trail in Sam Houston National Forest. I thought it was a great subject for my 50 1.4.
I just paid a visit to an old friend of mine.

Colors of Leaves (and Those Fallen) in Ozark National Forest. Capturing this image and seeing colors in trees was not something I'd thought or even considering while planning a trip to Arkansas and the Ozark National Forest and Mountains. I've mentioned in the original image description my story in wanting to visit this area again from my time as an Army officer. But seeing the leaf colors that morning was truly special and what my focus on metering and composition was with this image, which I posted is here on Flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/14723335@N05/33619102570).
To the digital painting, this was my second one done using Adobe illustrator Draw on my iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil...but it was my first attempt to do something that I wanted to try out as a watercolor and later evolved into more of oil brush style. I came across some brushes that worked with Adobe Draw from Kyle Webster. Another technique I used was something I'd seen a friend and painter use which was to have an appropriate stain effect on the digital "canvas" to better bring out a mood or feeling. I went with a medium color of brown and yellow to better bring out warmer tones and hues. The rest of the digital painting is using techniques with changes in hue and tones to bring out contrasts in the terrain and add depth. I also used layers with Adobe Draw to also help in that perspective.
In the left foreground of the painting, you'll find that stick figure image of me "hiking" with my Cubbies hat, loving my time hiking and exploring the Boston Mountains and Ozark National Forest...and definitely loving the color of Autumn even in Winter :-)

~Follow the Light~
Enchantress with long blonde hair
that rests at the curve of her lower back
has a candle lit in one hand
and the other is waving you forward
Walk softly on the bed of leaves under
your feet...be sure of every step
follow in silence as she places one finger
to her full moist lips pursed
asking for only whispers to be shared here
Wandering deeper into the forest
captured by the magic of the moment
feeling your body surrender to
every ounce of essence that reeks from
her body
you wonder...where is she taking you
You find her placing the candle on a bed of moss
glitter from the dew glistens on your bodies
it's your desire to lick a path through her shine
to find the treasure that awaits both your senses
Love is made in the dark of his twilight
naughty has turned into nice
skin soft as silk glides across yours
all hunger is satisfied
the Enchantress will feed you until
the morning light can no longer
bare the heat alone
Take a walk with her and you will
know
you will always know
that love in all forms in all ways exists
if we let it
it will walk us through the night
