I can smell and touch them. I wrote something in the piece you kindly linked to about the crowds and noise of the city drowning the texture and detail of things - thank you for sharing a little here of what I'm starved of.

Almost everything. I think it’s important to at least leave open the possibility of some sort of Zen-like direct seeing.

Thanks for the comment.

I know they can be "like" a lot of things as well as like themselves, but one of them is like a Jackson Pollock, in 3-D. I guess we see everything, including nature, through the filter of what is already etched in our consciousness - which, in turn, is filtered.....on and on like those multiple mirror images.

Yes, now that you point it out, I do see that animal face. But it looks more like a fox than a wolf to me. butuki - After the snow flies is when the woods really looks naked, I think. Right now I find myself focusing more on the brightness of moss and lichen. kenju – Thanks. Yes, now that you point it out, I do see that animal face. But it looks more like a fox than a wolf to me.

Autumn woods have this nude-like quality that feels almost embarrassing to peek in on. It's like catching someone just stepping out of the shower. You want to hand them a towel.

In number 6 in the slideshow, did you see the animal face in the bark? It looks like a wolf to me. Beautiful photos! In number 6 in the slideshow, did you see the animal face in the bark?
