This is the soul of the Forest speaking! I have beauty and grace, color and fire, respect me for I am home to many. Without me the wind and sun would be harsher and the waters would flood the earth, I am part of Balance!

autumn, country road, forest, oregon, side light, union creek
I’m a 64 year old retired grandmother that loves photography. I love being out in nature and love lots of color, so Autumn is my favorite time of year.
Forests and forest light, waterfalls, flowers and insects are also some of my favorite subjects to photograph.
