Wow, it's amazing to me how the site floods with posts when I'm away! Between DD and I battling a flu bug, whipping myself into cycling, trying to convince the veggies to grow, and organizing a plant sale fundraiser this weekend I barely have time to breathe!
I took a couple of reference photos the other day when i was riding in the forest. Folks from around here will just go, oh, that's a bunch of trees. But I thought those of you who live in more arid places might be interested in them; this forest isn't too far from the Hoh Rain Forest up on the peninsula, and even here you'll find trees dripping with moss.



And here's a deer that hung around while DD and I waited for the bus. He moseyed away by the time I got back with the camera...

This is the backside of the prairie perserve by my house. The building off in the distance is the studio of an artist/art teacher. I try to take a class every now and then, but she's a very Good teacher, and gets paid accordingly!

Looks like the weather has decided to not improve, so I'll just give up on it and head out on my bike anyway!

All I can say is Ooooooohhhhhhh, then drool all over the keyboard. That is beautiful. Bet you have temps around 70 degrees too to make that a perfect place for a bench, table and chair or a hammock or just me standing there drooling.

I love the woods, any woods, and your wood looks different from mine. When I was young I dreamt about riding across the prairie. I just found that dream again in your photo.

Such nice wild scenes. It looks like a bike ride with everything natural.
Thanks for showing these.
