On a long road trip from Canada to the end of California. Several well known sites from perspectives other than the usual.
A walk in the garden in the rain in the early spring.
Today the light rain sometimes blurred into “showers.” Alexa said, when she told me the weather, “Don’t let the rain get you down.” Early spring, Sunday, but no gardeners because of the rain. My feet got wet, but the colours and haze kept me walking forward to see what else there was to see. A pain of red gloves, and a worktable of some sort in the woodlands behind the garden. I wanted to stay but my wet feet wanted to go home.
The Woodlands Near Squamish
After three days of rain the forest is even a brighter green.

At the Dock in Bellingham.
This is an image of the dockside in Bellingham, where restructuring and rebuilding are taking place at a frantic rate. Regretfully, over the past 5 years, the grain elevators are starting to deteriorate.
The Forest Next to the Highway
A pathway runs along the highway, just behind a break of trees, allowing light to flow in from reflections on the road, stones and water.
The Wooden Path.
This past weekend we stopped at a small lake side rest stop and walked along an old wooden pathway that follows the main highway to the mountains along the BC coast.(You can see the old wooden pathway in the last image.) Around the path trees grow out from the fallen boulders and seem to spring from nowhere, making them seem to be part of a stage set.. The light coming from the direction of the highway casts a wonderful shadow of the woodlands against the large broken rocks. Nothing seems real here, it seems more like a dream of such a place rather than the place itself.
Deep in the rainforest.
Deep in the rain forest, between two stone cliffs, grow moss and trees of such deep green they all seem to blend together. Water drips from the walls, the moss and the trees and seems to percolate through the ground.
