On our last walk together, Clytie showed me the yellow lichen she'd found. I couldn't resist taking this photo. The spriggle of mossy grey beard next to the yellow cupped lichen seemed an unlikely marriage--I was intrigued and thought I would share it with you.
This inspires me to dream of a luxurious wide and draping kimono jacket made from a soft and crushed silk velvet in that olive moss color, adorned at the edges of sleeves and lapels in romantic manners with ruched laces and small passementerie ribbons in the greyish green-white and juicy green... Only dreaming here ! I visited a couture fabric shop today...as you can imagine !
well, isn't that interesting. My goodness, I thought the colors and texture were curiously wonderful until I read the comment from Chaterlaie and her proposed garment and I was sweep away on the imagined feel of lush fabric and gorgeous design and that side of my nature diverted me. You know I love your photography, but I am a fickle fabric-holic.
When I see something unexpected, unusual, or beautiful, my focus involuntarily suddenly sharpens and intensifies. The sensation tickles! That's when I say something "fills my eyes." It is the greatest compliment I can give.

Welcome to my World
I have always loved taking pictures. I took my first and only photography class at West Linn High. The photo lab was located in the bowels of the school near the gym's locker rooms. There we learned to manage typical dark room techniques and procedures for developing film.
Things have radically changed since those days. Today's technology no longer requires pungent trays of chemicals and a dark room.
With the invention of the digital camera, I was set free to capture the amazing, unusual and the unexpected. My camera is always by my side.
I never know when, or where I will be able to capture some delicate beauty, or unexpected oddity.
Welcome to my world!
Statistically, the probability of any one of us being here is so small that you'd think the mere fact of existing would keep us all in a contented dazzlement of surprise.

I am interested in people, stories, art, drama, music, nature, and photography.
I love to photograph the forest, my garden, birds of all kinds, the river, my town, our historical home, the ocean and so much more. The stories one can find are endless.
The seasons of nature are fascinating to me. Every year, time and the seasons seem to vibrate with increasing intensity

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.-- Mark Twain

Opposites attract - so they say. But I'd really like to know who "they" are. Do you know? What are their names and addresses?
How pretty, looks like lace or string, very interesting.
A beautiful shot, sissie! Especially when enlarged, when one can see the amazing detail of lichen.
Very interesting.
