A picture of the trails at Moses Creek Conservation area, the sun lighting up the trees in the background and shade keeping it cool in the foreground, red clay, sand and decaying foliage cover the ground, and tropical plants w Spanish moss on boths sides of the trail.

I was going to drive to Jupiter, but jet fuel ⛽ is so high, I turned around at Moses Creek Conservation area 😄😎 It's a wild tangle of palm, pine, cypress trees and clay, sand and earth..tropical plants and Spanish moss.

We're hiking this same valley this weekend, so I'm manifesting another Mule Deer buck in a landscape frame filled with Ponderosa Pine forest eye candy...and Zen.

"The mountains are calling
and I must go..."
~John Muir, letter to his sister, September 3, 1873

🌿🦌🌿 I hear it too, so I took off and we're headed up early! Have a wonderful weekend in Nature! 🤘😶‍🌫️

Looking uphill into a backlit stand of young Ponderosa Pines making a home in the light and shadows painting the Prescott National Forest, in black and white.

There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.

Sharing the view with a lonely pine tree on a rocky outcrop at about 7,800 ft up Aspen Peak in the Hualapai Mtn range in black and white. Pixel peepers may see a winding trail up the almost barren Dean Peak across the valley to the north. It says no trespassing on the gate over there, I checked.

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

I also did up a black and white of this frame, cropped in close, but I like the color and the way he pops off the screen in the landscape original...Poker Face, the Mule Deer buck, looking into your soul a bit. Zen.

When I look into the eyes of an animal,
I do not see an animal.
I see a living being.
I see a friend.
I feel a soul.

A young Mule Deer buck meets us face to face in a clearing...turns out he was standing watch over some does down in the ravine, not pictured. I managed not to spook this fella though, so I got to meet the ladies too.

#SundayVibes: Glorious morning up on the mountain for #GreenTherapy! 🌿🦌🌿

Deer, squirrels, and birds...and not another soul. Zen. 🫠

I'll make ya a thread later, since my deer radar went off several times...🤘😶‍🌫️

I see a woman laying on her side in the stone of this red rock formation along Soldier's Pass. Before I decided landscape panos weren't my bag...I tried this one behind Coffee Pot Rock in Sedona, AZ

Her name is Aphrodite
And she rides a crimson shell
And you know you cannot leave her
For you touched the distant sands

A serene Mule Deer takes a break from foraging to look over at the camera from the dappled light and shade under Ponderosa Pines in portrait. I shared this as a black and white edit before, but I like it this way too ;~p

Concentrate on the Essence,

Engaging with a new environment — even temporarily — increases cognitive flexibility and enhances our ability to absorb new information. These benefits are linked to changes in dopamine signaling and brain wave patterns, which support our brain’s capacity to reset, recharge, and rewire. I will assume that since you are looking at this on your phone or laptop, that you need some green therapy desperately, so I've shared an image of a Mother Mule Deer and her fawns moving up trail along a dry creek bed through tall golden grasses with colorful foliage painting the surrounding trees. Zen for the eyes.

📖 Neuroscientific research has shown that a change of scenery can have powerful effects on the brain. Novel environments — especially natural ones — stimulate the brain’s learning and memory centers. Cont. in Alt Text*

A beautiful picture of the turquoise water of the Keys, flowing by as the sun sets in the background, adding a pop of color to all that beautiful blue water, my Nirvana.

The turquoise water surrounding the Keys is captured so perfectly in this shot, gently flowing by as the sun sets in the background. Nothing spells calm, like gentle waves. 🌊🐬

It's both! #Scape day and #ForestFriday. This image was made in my escape place last spring. My place to breathe. Springtime is upon us. An explosion of green is building. It's almost overwhelming. Almost. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #green #forests #springs #trees #GetOutThere

A gorgeous nature trail in the middle of a bustling city, winding through parks and past the intercoastal waterway, perfect for exploring, various trees and lots of Spanish moss.

My favorite time to spend, is outdoors, in nature with nothing but the sounds and sights rolling by... And maybe a munchkin.

...relax your eyes, if you're looking for a deer. So am I. Or a bull elk. A shot I really want. In the snow. Looking back at me, with his tracks leading thru the forest between us. Like this frame of just the tracks...that appears like I was a day late to meet the one who followed this trail. Sad face. Call it manifesting, but I carry around a mental file of shots I want, and 'see' them happening. Soon, deer peeps. Picture it with me.

Winter reveals the secrets of the woods. ❄️🦌🌿

There goes Gordo, the Great Blue Heron of Lynx Lake, flying away from the little cove that I just shot his session in. The dam is at the other end of this little gem of a lake.
