“The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision that stays with you always. No one has ever successfully painted or photographed a redwood tree. The feeling they produce is not transferable. From them comes silence and awe. It’s not only their unbelievable stature, nor the color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time.”

John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America

This is part of why I love cascadia... at least the western rim of cascadia where it does rain.... a LOT.
I do love the rain. It makes me feel peaceful.

Morning mist ~ Nisqually Reach, WA

There's a story to be made out of this to do with the maiden of the sea or the ghost of the misty morning.

Cherry blossoms in the spring rain

Cherry blossom is my favourite. I love this picture.

I enjoy watching and listening to the rain. Being out in it is okay, providing it's not a deluge and I have my appropriate mack on .

Lucky to have this now and then off my porch in PA. Otherwise, can do without the fog and gloom. But there is beauty everywhere, isn't there? Great pic!

Tulips are very attractive flowers, so I understand why you keep posting pictures of them .

That blossom was stunning. It's amazing how wonderful it looks.

Thanks Suss - I am sort of trying to not have this turn into a flower thread... but this time of year everything is blooming and so - it seems right to have lots and lots and lots of flowers!!!! the whole world is in bloom and I just want to celebrate it.
