The path to the brea dam is pretty confusing. There are lots of small winding lanes and half-trodden paths that lead to nowhere. Add to the formula the essence of true nature, with only the sounds of rustling leaves and the calling of birds.
Half an hour into the hike, I added to the cacophony of silence with my labored breathing.
It's particularly confusing when you meet a split in the road with no markers, and each lane is just as winding and confusing as the on you left.
This is an original photograph I took back in 2013. It's a good lead in for my story today. This is one of the many paths that I have had the good fortune to walk each day. Now I am on another path. This path is called recovery. I had a stroke (intracerebral hemorrhage) on June 6th. I have been house bound since then, I miss my walks and daily photography a lot. The good news though is that a full recovery is anticipated. Progress is slow and the therapists told me I needed to use my hands in ways that would be challenging. I told them I had a solution.. I'm using the time to learn how to be creative and combine textures and my older photographs into art, I can't wait until I get back out among the birds, flowers, and other beauty but meanwhile I am learning and having fun!
A walk around Minterne Gardens in Dorset.
The garden walk is about 1 mile in a horseshoe shape.
You can take different paths on the last leg of the walk, we went on the upper path.
Various paths.
Trees
Information below from leaflet from Minterne Gardens:
The Minterne Valley, landscapped in the manner of Capability Brown in the 18th century, has been the home of the Churchill and Digby families for 350 years. The gardens are laid out in a horseshoe below Minterne House, with a chain of small lakes, waterfalls and streams. They contain an important collection of Himalayan Rhodocdendrons and Azaleas, with Spring bulbs, Cherries, Maples and many fine and rare trees; the garden is noted for its Autumn colouring.
Of particular note are the large plants of Magnolia Campbellii which flower in March and April, together with a profusion of spring bulbs. Many flowering cherries were brought from Japan in 1920 and the Pieris Forrestii with their brilliant scarlet shoots, originally came from Wakehurst. A very fine collection of Davidia Involucrata (the pocket handkerchief tree) produce striking bracts in late May and early June, when the streams are lined with primulas, astilbes and other water plants.
Taken for the Active Assignment Weekly! group. This week's assignment: Solitude
What it took: Went for a walk yesterday and I just liked the path up the hill in the afternoon sunlight. So I decided to shoot it wide open so that the distance falls into pleasant blur.
Positive solitude.
Several miles back from the main Mt St. Helens blast site, the destruction was considerably less and a few trees were left standing. These dead trees are still a vivid reminder of the powerful forces of nature even 30 years later.

The enchanted path to Ballynoe Stone Circle in County Down. To get to this megalithic monument you follow a path which is enclosed by a hawthorn arched hedge - a perfect entrance.
Change is always scary. The unknown is unsettling. It may be discomforting, but some changes have to happen whether we like it or not. For better or for worst, all we can do is "keep calm and carry on". Carry on down the lonely path to the not so distant future.
I love how the red scale renders the contrast and adds to the vintage feel of this photo. The focus isn't where I intended it to be but it looks cool focusing on the end of the shadows. :)

Portland, Or has one of the great Japanese gardens in the US. It was designed by Takuma Tono beginning in 1963, and opened in 1967. It's all quite beautiful, even in (too) early spring.
