one of my favorite photographic 'genres' is what i call "microscapes" - small, intimate snippets of the landscape, often things that 99.9% of people - including most photographers - would pass by without ever even noticing, much less photographing. this is one such image, taken along a creek in the Cascade Mountains of Washington. this particular spot took 4WD and some scrambling over rocks to reach, but i think this image is worth it...

Sure is. The leaf helps the composition too.
Beautiful - love the leaf.
This one really spells "quiet" to me, especially the quality of light falling on the left side. Quite evocative!

thanks, folks! Blue, that sense of calm and serenity is something i try to convey in many of my images. i love being out in the woods, out where the only sounds are the gurgle of water over stones, the creak of trees in the wind, or the far-off call of a bird in the forest, where i can close my eyes and breathe in the damp, earthy smell of the woods and imagine that this is what it was like a thousand years ago, before there was anyone here... where even the click of the shutter seems loud and intrusive...
