To be alive on this beautiful planet is near and dear to my heart. Being out in nature sustains me. To look upon a sight that takes my breath away, and lifts me out of my inner unrest, is pure joy.

~ Lens-Artist Photo Challenge #52: Serenity ~

Posted on July 5, 2019 by Lindy Le Coq

Serenity is subtle

P1010993

The sensation enters my eyes, ears and nose, spreads throughout my mind and body – fills me with peace and asks nothing of me.

Gentle Sundown

Sometimes it comes to me in soft pastels with gently lapping water, or suffused in mist.

foggy dunes

At other times I experience profound tranquillity surrounded by vibrant living color and rushing water.

Creekside Greens

Whether by a stream, at a lake or the ocean, the sound of water always soothes me. As a tribute to my mother, who passed in 1996, I built a pond and waterfall in my back yard. She too, loved the sound of water, the scent of fresh air, and the beauty of nature.

When I’m home, I find serenity sitting right here.

~ Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #51: Unique ~

Posted on June 28, 2019 by Lindy Le Coq

On Long Beach, the landscape changes with the rise and fall of every tide.

King Tide

This ongoing tug of surf on land leaves unique impressions at each low tide.

Extremely low tide

Sometimes the sand is flat with a surface residue pattern left behind.

At other times, the surf carves tide-pools into the beach.

P1090348

Their rills create one-of-a-kind sand drawings, as water courses back to the ocean.

Thank you Amy, for this unique challenge. All week I’ve asked myself, “what can I share that’s unique?” Once again, my answer is from the beauty nature provides.

~ Lens-Artist Photo Challenge #50: Trees ~

Posted on June 20, 2019 by Lindy Le Coq

Recently, during a very low tide, I explored the beach and cliffs of Beard’s Hollow.

P1090422

This image of the promontory above Beard’s Hollow, shows the lush forested lands that are part of Cape Disappointment State Park. The name, conferred by a disgruntled British fur trader, John Meares, may well describe his mood when he arrived in 1788, but certainly doesn’t reflect the beauty of the park, which offers well-kept trails and glorious vistas.

Low tide at Beard’s Hollow

The tenacious ability of trees to fasten themselves to hillsides and thrive has always inspired me.

Five thousand feet above sea level (1524 meters), evergreens grow to water’s edge at Odell Lake, Willamette Pass Oregon.

Tree impressions.

My favorite tree (right now anyway!) is the copse of holly in the back yard. It has grown into a fine stand that provides year long protection for birds.

Many different fledglings are being escorted to the upper branches where they safely learn how to forage in feeders.

Look closely and you will see a fledgling Downy Woodpecker on the suet with its back to the camera!

Thank you Leya, for the opportunity to showcase the wonder of trees. To see other interpretations of this challenge and/or to join in, click the link below.
