Daisies and cattails fiery sunset. Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. July 4, 2021, 8:24 PM.

We are standing close to a lake. Between us and the lake is a small thicket of cattails, tall grasses, daisies and yellow wildflowers. The far shore of the lake is wooded. The sky is mostly clouded up except for a break near the horizon where the sky is gold tinted from the recently set sun. The sun is painting the bottoms of the clouds purple with dramatic streaks of fiery orange near the horizon and dark pink above us. All of this is mirrored on the slightly rippled surface of the lake below.

Above a silhouetted forest a deep blue sky up top gradually fading to light blue along the horizon. A cluster of small fluffy white clouds is funneling out from the lower lefthand corner of the pic, filling most of the sky. Near the horizon, they seem to be one solid mass, but as they stream overhead you can see that they are many small fluffy clouds with gaps of blue sky in between.

40 years ago today: Although the hiking was rather easy from that point on, the woods continued to be very buggy. The heat and humidity of the day were slow to abate as the afternoon wore on. The Appalachian Trail followed the ridge with no major climbs or descents to Vanderventer Shelter. It was 5:00 when I arrived.

Beneath a hazy summer sky we are looking over the treetops at a large lake hundreds of feet below. It is mostly surrounded by forest, with wooded ridges rising above the far shore and two wooded islands within the lake. There are a few farm fields and houses scattered around three sides of the lake, the left side has a small village - a modest cluster of farms and houses. On the horizon, wooded ridges and valleys cascade off into the misty distance.

I apologize for the long silence, but I am back into posting art!

This is a commission I've done for my mother back in November. 💖🍂 She wanted something fall-themed and elegant.... with pumpkins involved. This is the end result. (Yes, she loved it). The artwork is 11in x15 in and made with watercolors.

40 years ago today: The Appalachian Trail after the US 321 crossing was very easy walking, but weird as hell: cutting through the hearts of two combination beach/picnic areas along the shore of a large, man-made body of water named Watauga Lake. Hundreds of happy people were playing and relaxing in the sun with friends and loved ones.

⬇️ Thread in comments

Beneath a hazy summer sky we are standing atop a low ridge looking out over the treetops to a large lake about 200 feet (60 meters) below. Directly ahead is a rounded structure rising from the lake topped with a metal crane. It is connected to the shoreline by a concrete walkway. A grassy peninsula juts out into the lake to our left. The wooded far shore rises quickly hundreds of feet to the long, wooded crest of Iron Mountain.

Golden orange Independence Day sunset. July 4, 2021, 8:09 PM. Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut.

We are standing beside a lake looking over a small patch of leafy shrubs with clusters of tiny dark pink blossoms. The lake has many large clusters of lily pads. A low wooded ridge rises above the far shore. The golden orange sun is just setting behind that ridge, between a nearby peninsula covered with tall trees and a small wooded island. Although the horizon is clear, the majority of the sky is filled with clouds painted orange gold by the setting sun. All this is mirrored on the calm lake surface below.

I like to wander in the Whakarewarewa forest in Rotorua. Currently there is a "lake" that covers the MTB track and the walking trail. The refections of the trees caught my eye.

A still lake surrounded by trees and ferns hug the edge. The reflection of the trees make the trees feel taller. The yellow autumn leaves are reflected in the lake. In the foreground, are the red/brown leaves from the Redwood trees.

The lake viewed from the other side, looking towards the redwoods. The lake is still and reflects the empty branches and the yellow autumn leaves.

When I meditate in the woods I have Ruby at my back, and her daughter, “Lotse Potse” (pictured), is on guard on the perimeter. So far no bears, cougars, wolves, voles, eagles, ravens, owls, or chickadees have attacked while I’m cultivating the Theta state.
ps. We’re now calling her Lotse Potse (inspired by my granddaughter) as English-speakers can’t pronounce her name, Lotte, properly.

40 years ago today: Standing at the top of that large, steeply-rolling meadow, a rural two-lane curved through the green valley below and up over the next ridge. Beyond, there again were Roan and Hump Mountains and the intervening sweep of balds. The summits were shrouded in thick, dark clouds. Undoubtedly, a cold rain was falling on some poor sucker up there today.

⬇️ Thread in comments

Beneath an overcast sky, we are standing at the top of a meadow running down the mountainside towards a valley below. The sides of the meadow also slope upward to our left and right, rather steeply towards the top on our right. There is a patch of forest at the bottom of the meadow. A rural two-lane runs through the valley below, past a patchwork of farm fields and forest. Beyond the valley rise several green thickly-forested ridges.

The previous owners of our house were very #energy conscious and designed the house with a ton of windows and skylights (as well as a solar hot water heater) to minimize electricity waste. However, windows in #forest areas tend to collect a lot of gunk. My chore today is window washing (including skylights). Now I get the old caveat of “I don’t do windows” 😞 I also get to test my balance skills running around on the roof #injury #91…

40 years ago today: Near the end of this stretch, just before it crossed a stream named Laurel Fork, the Appalachian Trail came out of the woods at the top of an old field, where I enjoyed my only views of the morning.

Beneath a clear but hazy white sky, we are standing high up a U-shaped meadow running down the mountainside towards a valley below. The sides of the meadow also slope upward to our left and right, rather steeply towards the top on our right. The meadow ends and woods take over at the tops of the inclines to our right and left. A line of trees just to our left divides the meadow in half, running through the center of the meadow. There are a few big light gray boulders and leafy shrubs, but the rest of the meadow is grassy. Across the narrow valley from the base of the meadow rise several green thickly-forested ridges.

Good morning. 🌲🌲🌲

"Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way" - Gene Raskin

Mary Hopkin sang "Those Were the Days." But the earliest recording of the song was in Russian, sang by the Georgian singer Tamara Tsereteli in 1925. Gene Raskin wrote new English lyrics to the song. Paul McCartney produced the Hopkin version. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Those_Were_the_Days_(song)

"Those Were the Days" was one of my favorite songs back in the day -1968. I might remember it as a school bus song. The bus's radio was always tuned to the pop/rock station. I still hear it in my head from time to time.

"Whatever I like, even after a long time, I still like it. And I reminisce about the moment when I first heard it. That's what I love. Just remembering those moments." - G-Dragon

This is a photograph of trees in a forest. It centers on one large pine tree whose brown trunk and branches stand out among the surrounding green trees.

Freshly fallen snow, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. December 20, 2020, 4:39 PM.

It is twilight nearing the end of a minor snowfall. An inch or two of snow coats the ground. The sky is overcast and it is still snowing very lightly. It was a wet snow, sticking to the trunks and larger branches of nearby trees. We are at the edge of a frozen lake looking out through leafless trees and dormant underbrush. The forest surrounding the far shore is slightly indistinct in the light snow.

A big old stag-headed oak tree in the fog.

It has a girth of around 8.5 metres, and has bags of character - it photographs well from lots of angles. It's also home to at least one barn owl - the first time I discovered that was when it flew right over my head in the twilight on a winter's morning.

Hope you had a great bank holiday weekend? ❤️ 🌳

Narly Live Oak Tree at Fort Macon State Park

I'm fascinated by Live Oak trees. The twists and turns of their branches, their tenacity for surviving in harsh environments and their long lives. They are an amazing work of nature's art.

A Live Oak tree rises up from the left hand side of the image. Its bent, twisted branches reach across to the right hand side. Green foliage is seen all around and behind the oak tree. A patch of dead, brown leaves litters the ground in front of the tree.

"Forest Shadows" by James DeFazio

Prints and more at: https://james-defazio.pixels.com/featured/forest-shadows-james-defazio.html

As the sun sets it casts eerie shadows all through the forest. The trees become silhouettes against the last of the suns light and the entire forest takes on a surreal, dream like quality.

The spider tree.

I discovered this tree in one of my local woods, which was a former gravel pit that has now been reclaimed by nature.

It looks like it must walk around the woods at night, but it's always in the same place when I visit it.

A mature beech tree with the majority of its root system exposed to the elements.

A nobbly, gnarly old hornbeam rising out of a sea of bluebells.

This is a familiar tree as I've shot it from a different angle in winter. I actually prefer this angle, so will be revisiting this scene in different conditions throughout the year.

I saw numerous birds flying in and out of the trunk while photographing it, so there's obviously at least one nest there.

Some days you don't mind getting wet. Rainy October evening at Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. October 29, 2019, 6:04 PM.

A rainy evening walk at the time of peak autumn color. Hemlocks and pines add a splash of vibrant green.

Walking a dirt and gravel path beside a lake, about to cross a long wooden footbridge. It is evening on a rainy day, the sky is gray and overcast. It is autumn. The water grasses are golden brown, the lily pads are yellow green. Most of the trees and shrubs are sporting bright red, orange or yellow foliage. A grove of tall pines and hemlocks across the bridge add vibrant deep greens.

Sunset dining, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. October 23, 2019, 5:41 PM.

Migrating Canadian geese take a late October dinner break on a secluded little cove at the lake while the two outside geese stand lookout (swim lookout?).

Standing on the shore of a small cove on a large lake. A narrow peninsula is maybe 50 feet away across the water. It is covered with tall trees, as is a second peninsula beyond to the right across a small channel of water. These two peninsulas form the cove. There are a few hemlocks on the peninsulas, the rest of the trees are hardwoods that have lost most of their leaves. Those that remain are brick red or golden brown past peak colors. A gaggle of ten geese is swimming on the cove. Eight of them are feeding, their heads below the water. The two geese on the right and left are keeping watch for danger. A bright golden sun about to set burns through the trees on the left. The sky is a pale gray blue.

A carpet of delicate white flowers has appeared in the woods: Threeleaf Goldthread (Coptis trifolia), a subarctic perennial plant, each growing just one flower.

"A Foggy Fall Day In The Woods" by James DeFazio

Available at: https://james-defazio.pixels.com/featured/a-foggy-fall-day-in-the-woods-james-defazio.html

The photograph captures a serene and peaceful moment in a dense forest on a foggy fall morning. The towering trees are shrouded in thick mist, creating a dreamy, ethereal atmosphere that almost feels like a fairytale. The leaves on the trees have just started to change from their summer green to their beautiful fall shades of red, yellow and orange, and a few have fallen to the ground, creating a colorful carpet of leaves.

From today’s forest

🌲💟

Vertical view on a path in the forest on a sunny day. Sun is shining through leaves and causing shadows on the ground. There is lush greenery all around.

Vertical selfie taken in my happy place on a sunny day. Princess Park is full of lush greenery. I’m wearing glasses and a black t-shirt with purple flowers and green leaves. Photo taken at an angle so that I am in the lower left corner with the forest surrounding me. A power line tower is in the distance through the trees.

Streaky clouds sunset. Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. March 5, 2020, 5:29 PM.

Beneath a deep blue sky streaked with thin hazy clouds we are standing on the shore of a lake watching the sun set behind a low ridge on the far shore. There is a peninsula of tall leafless trees on our left. The bright golden sun is burning through those trees and a band of orange-tinted haze along the horizon. The haze dims the sun only slightly while magnifying its apparent size several times. A light breeze softly ripples the lake.

I have some sad news to share today for anyone who visits the Ashridge Estate and knows it well.

One of the iconic trees was damaged by a winter storm and, following a safety assessment due to its proximity to a main path and subsequent attempts to save it, it has sadly had to be removed.

The tree arching over the path will no longer be in this wonderful view...

Here are a few images of the tree for the memories ❤️🌳

Even if all #ForestManagement ceased, the global #forest #carbon sink would only increase by about 15%. New paper by Roebroek et al in #Science shows further evidence that changing forest management is not an alternative to cutting #carbon #emissions: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.add5878

Photo of a very apple like #plantgall (Trigonaspis megaptera according to my expert 😸) growing on oak seedlings. #woodland #forest #nature @plants

*plantgalls are purpose grown clumps or hard balls on leaves and woody parts of trees, housing small insects (tiny wasps etc.)

Oak seedling with little pink apple like gall. Happy wasp :-)

This #ThrowbackThursday is dedicated to the bluebells. Below are some of my favourite images from previous bluebell seasons.

We're blessed to have some amazing bluebell woods in Hertfordshire, including some of the best in the whole of England.

Bluebells and dancing beech trees in the late evening light.
