Wordless Wednesday: Forests for Every Season

For Wordless Wednesday, let your images tell the story.

Sharing seasonal forests for Becky’s Simply Red and Lens-Artists: Into the Woods.

I’ll be taking a short break to attend a cousin reunion near Seattle, WA. Sunday Stills will take a pause on July 27th. The theme “Taste of Summer” will post on August 3.

Please visit my Sunday Stills page for the latest updates.

    They are such beautiful shots, Terri. I can’t pick a favourite, as they all have something serene to offer.

      Thank you, Anne! I wanted to double-dip for RED and L-A., and keep it short. We’re in mid July and in two months, we’ll be seeing red leaves!!
