My Word with Douglas E. Welch

Sycamore Leaves 🍁 

The colors, the shape of the leaves and the seeds make these trees even more beautiful in Winter than Spring.

Sycamores, Santa Monica Mountain, California

Another striking view of a stand of sycamores near Peter Strauss Ranch. The orange of the leaves and the stark grays and whites of the trunks were very striking. Click through on the location to find them. I think you’ll enjoy the view.

Lichen Up Close

Sometimes observing nature isn’t always about taking in sweeping, scenic, panoramas, but rather about getting up close and personal with it. There is as much to be seen in the micro as in the macro. These lichen caught my attention and I spent s verbal minutes photographing and observing them. You never know what may catch your eye when in nature.

Santa Monica Mountains 2

The mountains recede into the hazy distance while a California Live Oak stands sentinel in the foreground. I found this scene, and others to come, while taking a photo drive around the Santa Monica Mountains above Malibu.
