Beautiful work as always Matt - I really love that opening image. I find following trees over the years fascinating especially the fallen ones as they break down and finally return to the earth - or sprout new saplings that have seeded in their decaying wood.
What I like about winter is the absence of green for the most part other than ferns on the creek banks and moss underfoot. I'm drawn to unusual trunk shapes and twisty vines, trees reaching for light in a thicket, fungus and woodpecker holes (bores?) on dead logs. I search high for signs of bobcat scratches and low for deer scrapes. I like the way you phrase “little scenes.” Good morning Matt. Beautiful photos.

Thank you Lin. I appreciate the comment! Completely agree, it’s a fascinating story as our favourite places change!

Thank you Pamela, that’s very kind of you!

your work is like haiku, Matt.
“Discipline under constraint.”
Thanks Dave

Thank you, your landscapes sound fascinating. I think winter reveals a whole new world to look at.
Beautiful images. They take me back to walks in the forest of Fontainebleau. Thank you.
Many thanks for reading !
Lovely. I was out in similar weather yesterday — it does make you look more carefully.
hypnotizing, the stories of trees
Love that last image. That winding leading line had me instantly. Every inch an invite.
Beautiful and very comforting ❤️
Love that first image especially Matt. A beautiful softness to it
These are fantastic 🔥 You’re a lucky man, Matt.
P.S. I send you a private message 😬
Beautiful pictures and words, thanks Matt for this walk into the woods!
