In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.

Walking a beautiful pathway through the historic Laudholm Farm Preserve in Wells, Maine, there is a light fog drifting in from the nearby beach and a cool bite to the air reminding me of the upcoming cold days of the upcoming winter.
Crazy skies over the Murchison after last weeks cold front passed through. This is a HDR merged image using different exposures for the sky and foreground - not a technique I've really played with much before but I like the results here. #landscape#weather

A massive old oak tree with a thick layer of weathered bark anchors the scene to my right, its fallen shed leaves, tinged with the warm hues of fall, lie on the ground at the base of this beautiful living remnant of times gone by.
Based on... many random photos I think and finally it not looks like any particular one :blobcatjoy:
I wanted to experiment with water and reflections.
For #WaterfallWednesday I have this view of Narada Falls in Mount Rainier National Park (Washington State, USA). Wider views of the falls tend to look a bit the same, so I used a longer lens and picked out some details.
Imagine a world without abundant plant life, without sunlight and rain, the warmth of light, and the normalcy of one season following upon the heels of another.
It would be a drab, sere, cold place, the kind you see on dystopian science fiction movies, a hostile environment where humans and animals would not want to, or possibly could not, live.
In the back of our minds, deep in our hearts, we all have a place that we think perfect, a sort of paradise where it would be delightful to live.
For me, one of those places is the country -- far out in the country and surrounded by meadows and trees, with plenty of space for animals to graze and children to play.
