Only through the eye of a camera you see more…
Then you will get respect for nature when you see its beauty!
And I see the beauty that you capture with your camera and share with us… Thank you for that, Jane!
Warm regards, Heidi

These images really evoke a particular place, with the back and forth between the long and close views. On the Edge, Ant Life and Poppy Circle are some of my favorites here. That one seal on Seal Rock – so poignant, and Bottoms Up, what fun! You had a really good time, right? It looks like it.

Not sure if I remember Timber Cove. It’s been many decades since I explored that general area, but the cliffs and plants and flowers all look quite familiar. I’ve been doing the hanging on rock formations and cliffs up in the woods lately. Pretty much the same heart pounding moments I suspect. Doesn’t help to have a fear of heights. Something I unfortunately developed in my later years.
