Growing through pine needles and Blue Jay peanut shell litter, my woodland Lenten Rose never disappoints in the early spring. It disregards neglect and bad weather to raise my spirits with hope.

Saw these little Kappas during the hike in Kamikochi, Japan. I was curious what they were and if they had a meaning. This was the very beginning of inspiration to start folding them too, one I found the diagrams. ;-))
""The phenomenon of Kappa also has an educational aspect, as shown in the photo above.
There are many who would explain the legend of the Kappa as a simple story for children to scare them into behaving. One of the most common types of Kappa stories are focused on the creature’s fixation on disobedient children. It was thought that when disobedient children ventured too close to the water without their parents, the Kappa would pull them into the water and drown them. There are several variations as to what would happen next. Some stories simply state that the Kappa kidnapped the children, while others detailed that the Kappa would drink the blood of their victims or eat their internal organs.
It is thought that this tale of the Kappa helped to reduce the number of children who were lost to drownings or other misfortunes by ensuring that the children stayed with their parents and didn’t wander off into danger.""

I have mixed emotions about this image and find. There is something poignant about being reminded that even man's litter will eventually be buried. yet this is a relatively undisturbed place and even here man continues to leave their mark. The image can be powerful if you think deeply about it.

Fallen leaves litter the moss covered rocks along the middle fork of the Yuba River, while the river itself can be seen through the dense brush, flowing softly here, getting a moments respite in its often tumultuous journey. The scene is ageless, but the fallen leaves give it an immediacy that allows my simple mind to grasp its place in time--here in the moment, neither falling back or leaning forward.

The recent strong winds had blown these fallen leaves into a big pile outside a derelict cottage. So much litter in evidence too, very sad to see. Uploading for Saturday Self-Challenge theme "Leaves".

Another image from our day out to Cannock Chase a couple of years ago.
I've been starting to document examples of litter that I find around the world. Iceland is very clean and the beaches are mostly litter free. While exploring the beach by Vestrahorn mountain on the Stokksnes Penninsula I saw this fishing net that had been washed ashore. It added a bright touch of colour to the scene. A sand dune was starting to build up around the nets and its colourful floats. I used a wide angle lens to get up close for foreground interest in the image. Is it litter or is it art, or maybe both?
