I pass this fallen tree nearly every day and always wanted to take some pictures on it. It looks like the setting of a Pre-Raphaelite or Romantic painting. I really enjoy showing nature in my pictures, but hopefully--at least on occasion, I like the setting to be emotive, like a Romantic painting. There's a tie between nature and our mind sets--the way a distant horizon line can open our thoughts to possibilities, or a towering mountain top makes us feel small and young in comparison. How can one look at a worn and fallen tree being lapped by the river and not wonder what storms have ravaged it? Even in soft, sunset light it is a reminder of nature's violence.

ASOS dress
Welcome to my little blog that blends a bit of nature, fashion, wanderings, and books in this dusty corner of the Internet. I hope you find it a moment of quiet in the wild today.
You look absolutely stunning in these! I love the dress in contrast with your surroundings.

ReplyDeleteI love these pictures! The back of your dress is soooo gorgeous. And that tree does give off a painting-like vibe. You should get someone to paint you there! That would be special indeed :)

ReplyDeleteI remember when I started reading your blog you wore a butterfly print dress several times, is this the one? Well, you look great wearing butterflies :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously beautiful locations! pretty dress on a very pretty girl :)
ReplyDelete@Raquel, thank you and yes! I think I'll show a remix of this dress on Sunday. I've had it as long as I've had my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty well written post. The stunning sunset only adds to the romantic mood of the images.
ReplyDeleteI can never get enough of your pictures, they are always so gorgeous! That butterfly dress is so lovely!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty dress and setting. :) Just FYI there's an Airwick ad that autoplays when I open your page... made me jump! Not sure if you intended this.
ReplyDelete@Jessica, sorry I'm not supposed to have any auto-play ads. I'll see if I can fix it.
ReplyDeleteIts always so exciting when you finally get to use a place you've scouted for photos. I'm doubly impressed because not only is this gorgeous, but you do this with a timer! Some running to get out onto that log. But worth it.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a lovely writer. I think nature is so important as well. I spend most of my time outside for that reason. These photos certainly emit a Romantic painting vibe!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful dress you are wearing! it's darling! And that scene is quite amazing as well!
