Reflective Walk

A walk through the trees was the perfect way to end 2017. With a break in the rain, and nothing on the schedule, we headed out to the local arboretum to walk the trails and talk about the year.





Winter in the Pacific Northwest is when everything is green. With rain and cooler temperatures, the moss thrives and covers things like walkways, roofs, benches and trees.




I love walking through the forest any time of year, but there is something special about winter. You get a peek into forest life that often overlooked because of the summer growth.



I tend to get way behind my family when we are on these walks...I can't seem to keep myself from noticing the little things and capturing the details with my camera.

  3. Haha, the plight of a photographer - that is why you came such an accomplished one in capturing the details. The same happens to me when on a walk with the family - forever trying to catch up with them:):) Love the wintery mood in your photos, Jill … the moss, the humidity, the low light … wonderful!
    Thank you sharing with All Seasons, and have a fabulous week!

  8. Sometimes moss and lichen are so intricately more beautiful than flowers. When you get close up to them,they are astounding. Beautiful photos!
