Every time I have walked down to the end of our road recently I have been captivated by this small Bracken Fern growing at the base of this massive Redwood Tree. There is such a strong contrast between the light green delicate features of the fern and the dark, gnarled and burned Redwood Tree. Late this afternoon I dragged my camera down there and photographed it. The wind was a bit of an issue but luckily there were a few breaks in it to sneak in a few exposures of the fern.
God's blessings to all,

Light and Dark



I just love Angel's Breath a k a Crepuscular Rays. They happen when fog or the Marine Layer ( fancy word for it ) rolls in and the sun shines through it. It creates this beautiful display of light through the tree branches and trunks. It was that way when I came home today and I couldn't resist the pull to photgraph it.
God's light and love to all,
chris
