From where I took the photo of the tree, I turned left and saw this.
We've been back for a little over a week, and I have promised to recommit myself to the blog. Here are two images to get us started. The first one is one of the most beautiful trees I have seen on the mountain. Monsoon creates a diverse and beautiful palette of greens that range from almost grey to electric, vibrant, even shocking bright greens. They appear everywhere I look, but I tend to stop in my tracks when I look at the trees. Mosses and ferns, watered by the rain, fog and mist, seem to bloom wherever they are not disturbed. I find it impossible to capture the full scope of the textures and colors, but I will keep trying. You might notice the blue sky and fluffy white clouds in the background. This monsoon has been playing out differently than last year's, which was described to me as a "dry" monsoon. Every day we have experienced periods of intense sunlight, heavy downpours, and clouds rolling up and down the mountain. I got lucky when I walked to the top of the mountain with my good friend, Charlotte, yesterday. Our walk coincided with some of the nicer parts of the day. It started to rain very lightly as I approached home. From where I took the photo of the tree, I turned left and saw this. This kind of natural beauty feeds my soul, and makes my sore knees worth it.
