Three bridges can be viewed clearly, with support columns for two additional bridges barely visible under the first three bridges. a little farther down river. Most of these bridges are of different design, representing different periods of [...] Learn more »
“Peace is a daily, a weekly, a monthly process, gradually changing opinions, slowly eroding old barriers, quietly building new structures.” ~ John F. Kennedy During warmer days the movement of water trickling over an inclined granite rock face would possibly go unnoticed but when the temperature drops below water’s freezing point the resulting beautiful accumulative [...] Learn more »
Over the ages water has worn these slight channels into this solid granite river bottom shelf. On a cold morning with the light just right the water looks almost inky blue-black against the rusty rock. A few mud film provides a lighter yellowish color along the channels. Tweet Learn more »

This photo is from one of those mornings where the mist/fog was rising from warmer waters just as the sun began burning through the cloudy haze.

“aRound the Forest Floor” I’ve created and posted the image above as a fun way to announce I’m leaving the “graves” of last week’s posts behind and will be coming back to nature/landscape photos this week.
