Welcome to a post featuring the transition from late autumn to early winter!  You can see the changes from October’s bright colors and frequent sunny days to November’s colder, often rainy weather. Colorful trees drop their leaves, more animals than people seem to be outdoors, harvests are complete, and cold-weather crops and plants  are on display. You are invited to join photographers Lee and Toni as they share scenes of seasonal transitions.

You are most welcome to the seventh FOR THE EARTH posts. This post focuses on water  and features northwest “RIVERS”.  Whether we turn on the tap for a glass of water or trek along a riverside, water is always present in our lives.  Rivers, the flowing link between the mountains and oceans has inspired artists of all kinds. RIVER SONGS invites you to consider through photographs, haiku and quotations a variety of ways we all respond to rivers.

Welcome to fall when the summer’s colors fade into the background and fall’s colors dominate the land scape. Lee and Roger embrace the season and  enjoy the changing colors during this lovely season. Lee’s camera highlights compelling images of beauty and bounty.

A special welcome to returning and new visitors to the NESTER!
Almost every day of this sunny summer and fall has closed with stunning sunsets and tropical warmth.  Those evenings inspired Lorelie to create this “Day’s End” post featuring a painting, photographs, and poems. “Day’s End” captures those moments when each day closes before the coming of  darkness.

You are invited to view the photographs of the “small surprises” and “interesting details” Toni Olson looks for on her walks in the woods and near rivers.  Her camera captures the effects of sunlight and shadow  and encourages you to closely examine the unique shapes, textures and inhabitants.
