This image was taken at Kraft Azalea Gardens on the Shores of Lake Maitland in Winter Park, Florida. It is a favorite of the Great Egrets during mating season every spring and provides us the opportunity to capture nice images that time of year.
View LARGE or ORIGINAL for detail and height of trees. Thanks......
trip down memory lane to 2017- dream come true, seeing the California Redwoods! I cried when I saw them,☺️ lol.... Unbelievable tree species. Only place on Earth found are the coastal redwoods (California to southern Oregon). Check out a few incredible facts if you are interested.
I wish I took better pictures!😞

Perched at an elevation of 7887ft on the hilltop above the quaint town Sonada is a forest village called Chatakpur.
Life is simple when you do not have to deal with hectic city life and you can get to experience that simple life while visiting Chatakpur. Picking your own vegetable and milking the cattle is an experience that which city can never give us. Far from the noise of traffic this small village lets you live a life that is free from pollution but full of purity. Chatakpur offers a number of popular trek routes that lead to the top of Tiger Hill. During this trek, you might even have a glimpse of the 'Chumbalumba' or Mount Everest.

On your visit to the forest, make sure to be guided by a trained forest guard as the forest is the home to the Great Himalayan Black Bear family, Leopards, Barking Deer and Antelopes. There is a pond near the village known as Pokhri which can be used for birding or just relaxing while soaking the beauty of nature. Blue Magpie, Rufous Sibia, Black Redstart, Verditer Flycatcher, Himalayan Bulbul, Pipit, Long tail Shrike, Warbler , Prinia, Blue Fronted Redstart, Water Redstart are the major species one can see in Chatakpur. If lucky enough, one can also get a glimpse of the famous Red Panda.

"Is there anything more peaceful then taking in the quiet beauty of the setting sun? As the sun descends below the horizon, creating romantic shades of red and orange across the sky, the world has a chance to breathe in and rejuvenate.
While sunsets are a literal end to a day, they've also become symbols of peace, harmony, and the promise of renewal. Sunsets are a great reminder to rest and reset our hearts and minds at the end of each and every day." (Ian Palmer)

BLOOD OF EDEN – PETER GABRIEL & SINEAD O'CONNOR
... And when you left the fields of yellow
faded in the winds of time
the golden ears of corn bowed down
finally beyond all reason or rhyme
But now my heart has risen up
the fields are red adorned with flowers
the bluest mountains reach towards the heavens
the promise of Spring is surely ours
I thought there would never be anyone else
to replace you in my field of dreams
but gentle words flow like a river
and settle within me or so it seems
I want to believe in the everafter
when our souls will meet again
but for now I must seek the quantum of solace
in the absence of the gentlest rain
The silent tears roll down the years
and bathe me in a rosy glow
the sunshine warms me; holds me closely
I feel immense that all I know
Is carefully parcelled; tied with ribbon
red velvet bow soft to the touch
a secret gift to be opened slowly
unwrapped; unveiled and loved so much
Inspiration is my succour
that piques my salient desires
I know that you will understand me
be happy someone tends these fires
the burning embers that you left me
now ashes crumble in the dirt
dust is dust that once was earthbound
in Heaven there is no more hurt
My heart sings out the freedom of nature
like a bird on the wing I soar so high
above the mountains through the clouds
swooping towards an open sky
I reach the stars just as the night falls
and cloaks the earth in silent reverie
sweet dreams my love; I know you're smiling
your generosity sets me free
Love is freedom to be ourselves
no matter what direction we take
the ones who love us are happy for us
and theirs is the love we do not forsake
Be still my beating heart; be silent
only when the end is nigh
for I am alive and my joie de vie
my joy of life cannot be denied ...

Bike Trail at the Park in the Fall. Picture taken at the cook county forest preserve in Itasca near Chicago Illinois, USA.
Taken at the Rookery outside of Ottawa. Fascinating place to see these amazing birds building their nests so high in the sky!
One from my archives; these crows seemed to be chatting about something on this very high Cedar Tree branch. I wonder what they were gossiping about?
It’d been a long night. We had left Sydney after work and spent 4 hrs on the highway before some serious detouring off road and stopping to admire (and photograph) some pretty spectacular milky ways. Eventually, by 2am, our tents were set up and we had settled in for a cold few hours of sleep.
The next morning came and I felt privileged to be waking up at the base of these natural giants. The silence was magical and before long the 6 of us were exploring the brilliance of this forest.
It was my first time at this location so whilst the others scuttled off to find unchartered comps I settled in the tried and tested alley.
This is one place I’ll be returning to – im on lookout for snow ;)
View large and, as always, thanks for looking!
November in Sydney is jacaranda season
Love the jacaranda blossoms on the footpath and the gigantic canopies of purple in city parks and streetscapes!
Fog is something that fascinates me every time I am amidst of it. As the clouds roll and the winds start to pick up, the fog gently lifting and the sun's rays beaming through all makes for a compelling wintry morning...
As we gear up to it, I was reminiscing with one I had shot a few years ago in Kerala, India. Munnar is one of the most renowned hill stations in Southern India. It brims with vast expanses of tea estates and the tea plantation is something that generates a lot of revenue for the country.
The name Munnar is believed to mean "three rivers", referring to its location at the confluence of the Mudhirapuzha, Nallathanni and Kundaly rivers.
This was shot from one of the locations up in the mountains and would you believe at 10 AM in the morning! It was that foggy that morning.
If you see it for a while, your eyes could start discerning the other trees amidst the fog...

Thanks for viewing and have a nice weekend everyone!
Although non-native redwoods and firs were widely planted in the UK by the Victorians as they brought back specimens from the Americas. We are fortunate now to reap the benefits of these mature trees and enjoy their huge presence. There are several areas of the New Forest with such plantings, this being one. A light mist on this morning didn't linger but it did leave a feeling of light penetrating through the canopy enhanced by the infrared I used here.
It’s a shot that’s been done a thousand times before but I couldn’t resist the temptation. To be honest, I kinda like it. There’s a certain sense of serenity felt when looking at these impossibly tall tree’s reaching to the sky.

International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) was founded by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami (Srila Prabhupada) in the West in 1966. ISKCON belongs to Gaudiya (refers to Bengal) Vaishnavism, a devotional tradition based on the teachings of Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam.
During the Green Season in Moremi Park, the wooded area of the park offers spectacular scenery. Even the giraffes can disappear and as you can imagine that is not an easy feat.

Out of my comfort zone forest photography, this one captured last November on my way home from a mornings photography.
It was a chance wonder through to see if anything worth photographing and It was this particular part of the forest that there was a bit of mist still hanging around, and this image of the sunlit mist in the distance that caught my eye here with bonus autumn yellows and browns still hanging around.
This shot was taken in Mt. Rainier National forest, Washington State

Spring evening walk - Hyde Park.
According to Wikipedia, an urban forest is “a forest or collection of trees that grow within a city, town or suburb. In a wider sense, it may include any kind of woody plant vegetation growing in and around human settlements.”
Distant walkers. Bright blond heads. Lots of foliage. Misty Autumn morning, Lime Avenue, Westonbirt Aboretum, Gloucestershire.
High above in the tallest of trees are these very large nests within the blue skies.
These birds are very noisy and can be heard quite a distance away.
Late evening with a haze over the mountains and a glimpse of 3 tall Condo Towers high up in the hills and views of other homes lower down the hillside.
The area is part of the British Properties of West Vancouver, BC.
Zoom burst (zooming while the shutter is open). Some old-fashioned, hand-cranked rays of sunshine.

Surrounded by greenery and rivers amidst picturesque terraced farmland, Lamahatta is a small mountain village that now boasts of an upcoming eco tourism destination. Located at an altitude of 1700 meter above sea level and around 23km from Darjeeling, this tourist spot is gaining momentum by leaps and bounds. It has been developed as a honeymoon destination and is a paradise for honeymooners as it offers solitude, picturesque beauty and a feeling of being amidst nature!
Even in a tall, dense forest, somehow the light penetrates.

Thanks for your fun and fascinating comments.
I'm swinging in the rain
Just swinging in the rain
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just swingin',
Swingin' in the rain...
Thank you so much for this my oohed and ahedduct :)
