(Jan over at the Poppytalk Blog is hosting Spring Colors Week. You should play along, too!)
I took these on a recent adventure to this place.
Wild grape vines and oak trees abound in the place, feels like a whole other world when you're there.
That is all for now.
Thanks for looking.



beautiful!!!

So I need to be really selfish for a second Abby... I'm so happy you quit your day job! I could spend hours looking at your photos, and now you're giving us even more!

Spring and new green growth make the heart swoon. Enjoy the seasonal change.

love your photos!!! this looks like a place close to my house where i often take photos myself. are you by any chance in sacramento? if you're not, it's uncanny how similar these photos look to my favorite place along the american river.

What an enchanting place! Are those ugly fruits? (That is the only name I know them by...)

This looks like something out of fairyland--that arch of vines is amazing! I especially love the very last photograph--is that a teeny hint of the previous exposure on the left-hand side? :)

This green series is just too beautiful... for a moment there, I was lost and dreaming in those woods!
Posted by: Janine | March 10, 2010 at 11:14 PM
That bent over tree, natural arch thing is so neat. What a fun day to explore there.

These are incredible! How do you get the photos to have this vintage look? The lighting is so special and beautiful!
Posted by: Anne Storgaard | March 12, 2010 at 10:42 AM
