Beauty where you find it...

.


I love walking through the woods on our property if for no other reason then that I am continually surprised by the beauty that I encounter. This photos taken by my son Evan show just a few.

This orchid is growing on a dead tree by the brook.









Here the light shines down through a green canopy over one of the trails I have been reopening through the woods.





















Here a tiny leaf that provided lunch for some insect reacts by turning colour.


















And sometimes you find beauty right on your doorstep. This squirrel paid a visit to our deck just as I was sitting down for dinner. I snapped his picture then sat down and ate.


















Of course sometimes even when you don't actually get to see them, you know the wildlife has been there - recently!
