A recent ritual we've developed is getting away to spend time at home in the forest. It feels so much different than being in the city. The sound in the forest is so soft ... hearing the birds chirp and the wood peckers knocking ... the strongest roar being the wind blowing through the trees.

Winter is coming here in California and it's beginning to get chilly. It's such a nice time of year to walk the woods or browse around the garden ... sipping a warm cup of tea or morning coffee ... taking a minute to sit down for some inspirational reading. The misty fog in the mornings is my favorite ... it closes off the distance and makes things even more quiet and calming.

Here are some photos from our recent little shoot. Hope you enjoy the inspiration ... ;)
