Lens-Artists Challenge #68: Layered
…we invite you to explore Layers. You can include images of buildings, landscapes, seascapes, clouds, etc.
~~~
I am always fascinated to get a glimpse of what goes on in the hidden places. The mysteries of plant life navigating from seed to stem to flower. Or whatever its destiny may be.
The intricate dance of soil, water and nutrients essential for success…seems miraculous. Tender shoots of life making their way to the sun. Surviving despite obstacles…both nature and human caused.
A cross section of one hidden place was on display recently…when a recent rainstorm dislodged a support wall alongside a brook near the town park.
My first thought was to crop the image to highlight the layers of exposed roots and stones in the center. Then I realized…no, it is all part of a larger and equally complex layered landscape. In a scene that literally stopped me in my tracks during a late afternoon walk.
This brook also travels south and eventually empties into a tidal river that flows behind old brick buildings in the downtown area.
A site for more layers.
There I discovered plant life…layered in glorious fall colors…crawling up, down and across a brick and stone canvas.
Stopped in my tracks once again.
Beautiful, colorful layers! I’m glad you kept the falling stones.
Thank you so much for joining in! 🙂

Yes, I too like the different colors and textures … those were always my favorite kinds of scenes to come across in “the country,” especially early autumn.

Early autumn is a unique time of year for nature and its colors. Every day it all looks a bit different. Fun to look forward to!

Me again…Lol! I must have gotten an itch from that picture because with the weather so nice today I thought it would be great to bring the dog for a hike in the woods. Bad mistake! I found probably 10 ticks on him and that is with looking, brushing, and looking again! Ugh! I still like the picture though!
