Nature Pictures

These pictures were taken at Erna Nixon Park in Central Brevard Florida.




Can you see the heart?





I call this a gnome door. :)

    The first picture makes me think the two trees are embracing. Great pix.

      They do. :) I forgot what the pink stuff on them is called but the darker it is the better the air quality is.

      I have no idea. Some kind of pest, but I think the leaves look so pretty. Like lace.

      It is a very relaxing place. And it's easy to connect with nature there.

    I love taking pictures of Nature. I live right near a pond, and like to go for walks around it, or just sit by the pond reading and doing artwork.. Unfortunately, some of the most interesting things happen on Saturday, when I can't use a camera. I missed a photograph of a heron or some other kind of long-legged, fish-stalking bird one Saturday.

    I particularly like the photographs of your trees.

      So do I. I'm always seeing plants, flowers, and especially trees that I want to photograph.

      Thanks!

    Really cool pictures. I love the moss that looks like spilled paint.

    Turn right at the heart and meander under cover of lace-strewn leaves, near a puddle of soft green moss a miniature portal to magic awaits where troubles are left at the X. What a lovely morning walk! Thanks for the visuals :-)

    The gnome door and the mossy bottom tree were my favorites. The leaves with the holes make me sad. Arent those done by bugs? I think its bad for the trees. Great pictures !

    Love those pictures. I love the gnome door. I would have to travel to the mountains in order to see that much green here. Living in the desert sucks at times. lol

    I love the gnome door. And the plant that is being eaten alive.
    I don't know why, but there is also something about the first photo that makes me blush.

    The color of those leaves is really beautiful. I don't think I have seen it before. And the others, what is eating them?

    Awesome! It's so hot outside here...it's tough to be outside for long. It doesn't look like it was hot with these pictures, though. It looks like you could just find a tree, sit down beneath it, and write for hours!

      Tell me about it! I barely go outside these days. It was a bit humid when I took those pictures but I plan to go back in the fall to really enjoy the scenery with cooler weather.

    I love you chose to share the less than perfect side of nature. Even a bug can contribute to a wonderful design. Is the area near your home? Tree photos are one of my faves, I mean...just look at how beautiful they are. I love them all.

      Thank you! You're the first to say that those leaves had a wonderful design. I loved them and thought they looked so artistic. This park is a bit of a drive, but not too far. So it's perfect for a little escape. :)
