Another small walk along the river.

Strange canyons in bark.

The canyons in bark are like the geology of a strange, unexplored planet.

Passages through beauty.

Barren trees in a heavenly sky.

Leaves turning, trees bare, color on grass.

Please enjoy some photos. I took them this afternoon.

I don’t say much on this blog about who or where I am. My intention is to enjoy photography–and walking.  And to provide a sense of beauty that is universal. And possibly, maybe, to touch the minds and hearts of some readers.

But I must now say that this particular blog post and the next feature photos from the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Diego’s beautiful Balboa Park. I live nearby. A couple days ago I became a member of this garden. It’s a truly wonderful place.

Thank you.

Light touching beautiful trees.

A few photos of light touching trees. Every tree, every branch, every leaf contains beauty. With the sun’s moving light, we experience endless moments of wonder.

Early morning light along the river.

Walk with me along the river

It is early morning.

The sun is rising slowly, and all is very still.

Pausing for a moment beside the river early one morning. Sunlight and green reflections touch the nearby water.

Light among yellowing leaves. The cottonwoods are dappled with magic once again. The world seems new.

Quietly, fresh light touches life.

Leaves feasting on morning sunlight. The same light will amply feed eyes that hunger.

Patient trees by the river have swallowed a bite of sky.

The light showers its warm abundance. Light embraces life.

Leafway to heaven.

A leafway to heaven.

Higher and higher.

Leaf by leaf.

Ever higher.

Sunlight in living white gems.

Branches of a flowering pear tree bear countless small miracles of beauty.

Like shining flakes of snow frozen motionless in the air.

Taking a walk in a park among beautiful flowering pear trees.

Time and age create new patterns of beauty.

Bright green leaves of Populus fremontii, the Fremont’s or Alamo cottonwood.

From green to brown. Time and age create new patterns of beauty.

Close-up photo of mottled yellow leaf of one Fremont cottonwood. It is beautiful.
