It is so beautiful, I would think that it would be very quiet there with a few birds singing in the tall trees.laurelgrace00https://www.blogger.com/profile/01386639377152801855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090728537367928132.post-28099669260606773582009-10-07T10:24:57.482-07:002009-10-07T10:24:57.482-07:00This is a postcard photo.

It reminds me of my own sacred place in the California redwood forest, that I haven't seen in way too long.<br /><br />But more than anything I feel so much empathy with your beautiful words, twice as much as usual...but is it ever "usual"? Tonight it feels like a newfound miracle. Reading your post, I'm reminded of a saying by Joseph Campbell that I haven't thought of in a long time: "Follow your bliss."

You've done a beautiful job of capturing the feelings and colors of the forest. I always find that it's hard to get the green to look real, and you've done that for sure.tapirgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098235462073493603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090728537367928132.post-41842506581516958482009-10-06T05:55:07.028-07:002009-10-06T05:55:07.028-07:00The only thing I can add to you commentary is, ame...The only thing I can add to you commentary is, amen!B SQUAREDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510619553483917078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090728537367928132.post-75942176774709004452009-10-06T05:26:24.908-07:002009-10-06T05:26:24.908-07:00You express so well what so many of us feel and ca...You express so well what so many of us feel and can't express as well...<br /><br />Beautiful photo, too, to back up your expressions.<br /><br />I'm hanging on to life for dear life!Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090728537367928132.post-87729440823839735392009-10-06T00:03:38.985-07:002009-10-06T00:03:38.985-07:00Going up to the mountains make s me feel so darn g...Going up to the mountains make s me feel so darn good.
