Sunshine Challenge Prompt 5

[olivermoss]

The theme is Pan, a god of nature. So, nature? Hrm... what to pick...

I am going to try to keep this varied if I can.



Also, I can post some of my new bee pictures:

Ah, the winter-picture of the lake and the mountains almost make me long for winter :D Great shots!

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[paulamcg]

Ah, the second bee photo is just amazing. And I also particularly love the bench being taken back by the nature!

[olivermoss]

Thank you! The bee picture was from my photowalk this week :)

[james]

All very lovely!

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[rainbowpineapple]

I am here for the bee pictures, they're great

[ihavenoarms]

just amazing.

[olivermoss]

Thank you! I just took them this week and am going to post the rest of them later.

I kind of love how that grass is like "this is our road now, suckers"

[olivermoss]

Portland roads be like that sometimes :)

[pauraque]

Where were the 7th and 8th pictures taken? I want to visit sometime. :D

[olivermoss]

7 and 8 are Crater Lake National Park. One is take in summer, the other winter. Snowshoeing there is amazing, but you can't always count on the roads being open in winter. The second pic was part of a last minute detour on the way back to Portland since the south access road was clear.

I highly recommend it! The whole park is stunning and unique.

Gorgeous colors and scenery. That bench one looks familiar, but maybe there are just many mossy benches in the PNW lol.

[olivermoss]

Thank you! I haven't posted the bench pic in a long while, but I have posted it before. It's one of my shots that tends to reliably engage people :)

[enemytosleep]

Okay but that fat little bee though. ♥

[olivermoss]

So cute and fuzzy :)

[silveradept]

Really good picture selection for this. The bees and the benches are good shots.

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[bleodswean]

LOVELY!

[olivermoss]

Thank you :)

[mistressofmuses]

Bees! I love them.

That bench looks like an amazingly peaceful place to sit.

And I hate snow and being cold, but that shot of the snowy lake with the reflections is stunning.

[olivermoss]

Thank you! Crater Lake is amazing. The un-snowy version is the same view as my default userpic.

I should get back out to Wildwood soon, where that bench is. I want to spend a few days out in that area if I can.

[mistressofmuses]

I've never been there, but it always looks amazing!

[yarnofariadne]

Absolutely stunning! ♥

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[mossy_bench]

Responding to your picture of a mossy bench with my own appropriate icon. :P

Great photos. I enjoyed the fifth one for feeling home-y and full of life (to me at least) despite also appearing pretty run-of-the-mill and gloomy.

[olivermoss]

Nice icon :)

Thanks. I enjoy that road pic. Portland's road weirdness is one of the things I like to shoot.

[seleneheart]

I love how you focus in on the tiniest thing. My favorite is the plant in the tube.

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[walgesang]

Wow, these are just breathtaking (the landscapes! The fuzzy bee!). Nature = ♥

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[dr_zook]

Gorgeous!! I especially liked the bees-in-thistle and the lakes. And the last one! ♥
Thank you for compiling them. :)

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[dreamkist]

Bees! :)

I love that street being taken over by grass.

[olivermoss]

Thank you!

[icecheetah]

Beautiful again! I love the bee ones in particular.

But then again I love bees.

[olivermoss]

Thank you! I have more pictures of the bees here: https://rathany.dreamwidth.org/477485.html
