Vine

Mystery forest wouldn't you say? Can't go past this tree without a token. A token? Yes, a token of quietness and respect.

Wild mint

Wild mint grows in our forest here in Prescott. Now, after a rain you can smell it in the air as you pass the creeks where this plant grows. How about that for a treat?

Sun lights the way

Grass is highlighted and it shines like a torch. Beauty is and needs to be seen.

Walnut leaves

Green hue of walnut leaves catch my eyes while trekking on a trail in the evening.

old oak tree

Be confident, like an old oak. Storm shaken, weather beaten, yet still firmly standing still. It stops me each time I see it in the forest with its looks of majesty and might. It commands my respect at its rooted site. It is an old oak who has survived hundred and hundred of years. Which gives my imagination an immediate runaround: what is it this old oak has witnessed in its past? poem written by Karoliina Urso

Wilderness brings its rewards

Take a walk, take a long hike into a forest you do not know. Let it whisper to you and greet you. Let it smile to you. You will feel refreshed.

Lupin magic

Even though we are here in arid Arizona, it is a pleasure to find lupins along trails.

Beautiful Manzanita

I am fortunate to see these awesome brushes along the trails. This time of year the manzanita is in full bloom and they are simply the crown the forest.

Western Restaurant

This is from the Palace Saloon/ restaurant downtown Whiskey Row Prescott AZ. This area has gold and copper mining history, which many of the pictures on the wall do reveal.
