Step into the Forest

A unique entrance into the forest.  

 

I couldn't resist a black & white version. I'm not sure which one is best.

Northwest Texture

Monday I happened to park right next to this tree along a Northwest Portland street.  It was right outside the passenger window of my car.  I thought the various colors of lichens with the moss and texture of lumpy bark might make an interesting image.  It rained all day so the moisture popped the colors and texture out a bit.
