While reading folklore in the ivy brush, i fell asleep. I had dreams of
all the beasts that lived in that forest. But they kept themselves hidden. the fauns, inui, wilis, will-o-the-wisps,
and follets. Marids, satyrs, and even the tiny banshees howling with a sound most fearsome.
I woke up wishing that I lived close to these magical mountain forests.

Will and I just got home from a long trip. Winding rodes up and up
and forests as deep as the red sea. He told me of the seven-year locusts
that were crying out to each other and leaving their old husks behind them.
I felt sad that I should not see them again for seven more years.


The wind and trees have been telling us that autumn is
on her way. I long for pear cider, chapped red lips, mittens,
and woven cotton cardigans with apple shaped buttons.

Beautiful. as always.
I'm sorry I can never come up with anything else special to say, but your pictures are beautiful and they fill me peace and wonder, and I can't say it in any other words.
I can't wait for Fall as well. :)

oh, thank you!
I like taking pictures in the early morning or right before the sun sets. The light is so warm and pretty during those times. But you have to hurry because it only lasts for a very short amount of time!

Your photos are exquisite.

Is it simply the type of camera, or some additional setting/feature that imbues the photos with that lush, autumnal atmosphere? (Your photos have provided more than enough impetus for my sudden interest in photography; I'd be thrilled if I could ever render anything as gorgeous!)

The first two photos are particularly stunning.

I just found your livejournal and think it is absolutely beautiful. Im assuming these photos are all by you, so I would just like to say that you are my new secret favourite photographer. If you dont mind me asking, what type of camera are you using?
