Mossy California Oak in Golden Sunlight

I love beautiful gnarly old oak trees. We do not have them in Colorado so when I am visiting California I take the time to enjoy their beautiful canopies. This giant was standing next to one of those mountain roads in California that are as twisty as this oak's mossy boughs. I love the way the light in California is so much warmer in tone than the crystal clear thin air of Colorado. It was easy to catch that golden light filtering through this oak. What is your favorite tree?

Sea Dreams

A whisper soft breeze catches my hair and I push it back in place out of the way of my camera lens. The scent of sea air fills me with primal memories of safety and comfort. A bird calls sternly to her dinner as the waves gently swoosh and smack on the sandy shore. As I stand and watch the clouds change color and create dancing light upon the water. A calmness enfolds me. It lingers still.
