Cascade foothills at sunrise. Friday, Oct 16. Deciduous trees in their Autumn reds, various heights of conifers in shades of green illuminated by the rising sun, purply rolling Cascades mountains behind, yellow sky above.

Barn in the snow, Harpswell Center, Maine #PaintByWords #Barn #BlueSkyArtShow #Weather #Maine #Photography #PhotographyOfBluesky #Winter
a classic winter scene. In the center of the shot is an old wooden barn, approached by a curving driveway. The fields around the barn are covered with snow. A white clapboarded house lies nestled behind the barn its brick chimney jutting up into the snow-ladened sky. The landscape is dotted with winter-bare trees and the top of a dry-stone wall is just visible above the snow as it lines the curved driveway.

the woods grow still beneath a cool sun, carrying a soft sigh of vulnerability.....

We've had some rain this week and it is wonderful! The change is happening quickly now, wind blowing our autumn colours to the ground, trees adjusting to each change. This photo is of a hike I take often & always see something new. Healthy ferns line the dirt that winds its way deeper into this old growth forest. Bare branches are visible now with a cool sun advising 'winter's on its way' Tall ancient evergreens firmly rooted to their home are all around us on this walk, some even appear to be leaning into each other, seedling trees perhaps? Rust leaves are visible, scattered to & fro. A quiet photo with a damp not felt in a while.

I’ve put together a few recent works that I’ve especially enjoyed, starting with this serious black cat bringing a little Halloween mood.🐈‍⬛
Each one has a different sense of movement and expression.
