"When you pray, move your feet"

The green glow of the plants beneath the canopy is impossible to photograph. No matter what settings I change on my camera, it can't seem to capture the depth of the young trees and ferns, and the subtly green light that pervades the forest - the forest exudes the colour of vibrant, young life like nothing else.

This reminds me of childhood a bit, the wandering in the woods.

I like your imagery, it is very vivid. And can understand the impossibility of catching the perfect moment, light, scene, all too well. :-)

Typo: "despite -it's- unusual starting point"

The light here is totally impossible. Well, maybe one can photograph it if one is actually a GOOD, or GREAT, photographer, but I am not. Of course, all of photography is light, because sight is light, so being a master of light is being a master of photography.

I used to be very particular making sure I got its/it's right, but now I'm really with the camp that reckons we make it officially "it's" all the time, just for simplicity. But I changed it :)

I feel inspired to weave ragged strips of fabric to mimic the effect.

I am a quilter so that line intrigued me. I could smell the woods as I followed along on your walk. Lovely job!

I don't even know how it is possible for the bark to look like weaving like it did - how could it grow like that? Everything I find in nature I want to at least screen print it, if not make it. But - how does one find the time for everything?

This sounds like a forest I'd dearly love to wander through for a bit. Thank you for sharing.

If we're all particularly unlucky, all my entries will be about this forest. ;) No, hopefully I'll think of something else.

Well written :)
