I opened my computer this morning and watched the news feed scroll across my screen, every story imaginable that could cause fear and depression. I know I spend too much time on the Politics board, so this is an 'escape' thread, from the input overload of today's world troubles, to post an image of nature that you find calming. I will start.

I love this! As an artist, I notice that nearly every color in the spectrum is in that image.

For me, its water. Fortunately, I live about a 30 minute walk to the ocean. I can view it from the hills above, or walk along the shore for hours.

I was so fortunate to be able to scuba dive when visiting Maui many years ago and see all the life under the surface. I walked the beach, searching for little treasures to remind me of that time. I have a small vial of sand that I keep as a reminder. Edit: I have a print of Janet Stewart's painting on my wall. The quality of this image isn't very good, the print I have is beautiful, so many subtle colors and fine washes. I found a better image!

Breath stoppingly beautiful Bryce Canyon, Utah! Oh, it is! Notice the clarity and warmth of the foreground, and the softness of focus and blue cast to the background; in the art and photography world, that is known as "sfumato"!

I don't know how much of the Essex countryside counts as nature as it seems to be mainly farms, golf courses and other types of private property but I'm currently walking along part of the Essex Way and there's a lot of greenery. I'm now sitting in a pub garden and the locals all seem to have cockney accents.
Oh, I saw a deer munching away in a wheat field. Pretty cute.

Well, this probably isn't a wheat field, but it sure is cute!

Picked 19 Pounds of these beauties this morning and feel sorry for anyone who has only tasted store bought or restaurant strawberries... there is such a wonderfulness about straightening up from picking and enjoying a warm from the sun berry !
