Thank for taking me along on a wonderful walk through your forest. I loved the pictures, the trees, of course, and the ferns, I can’t get enough of ferns.

I hope you do get rain soon, keeping my fingers crossed.

I took my time reading this and slowly beholding the shadows on the fronds. I could my breath slow and my mind ease. It feels like I went on a forest walk with you. Thank you 💛💛💛

Our adventure together led me to contemplate the richness, which is in me and surrounds me. You may be located in western Canada, but, actually, you live within me as a moment of exploration and discovery. I do enjoy how you mirror the rich forest green which unfolds to yield the pleasure of the color green. "Have you ever seen such a green," she asks with child-like wonder. It's her first time of many times to see green, and she's in awe! Thank you, Whitney, for the awe-some experience.

Gorgeous scenes from the forest. Praying the fires burning near you and me provide the opportunity for growth and minimal loss.

I love your tall tree pictures today. They look magical, which, of course, they are. Sending hopes for safety from the fires.

I hope you remain safe from the fires Whitney - they seem to get worse every year. My concern for our great forests doesn’t diminish…

Beautiful photos as always… I especially love the light in the first three 💚
