Weekly Photo Challenge: Transmogrify
These fiddleheads remind me of an animal embryo. I suppose in a way they aren’t that different; newly forming leaves that aren’t fully developed yet.
This seemed like an appropriate post for the Weekly Photo Challenge: Transmogrify.
New Land
Lava flows directly into the ocean at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the island of Hawaii. This is the newest land on earth as the island continues to expand.

Mountain Stream, Dark Hollow Falls
The fixed, hard stone provides an ideal path for water to rush down the mountain. The stone may seem immobile and rigid but in time it will be defeated by the steady pounding of the water and the quiet, patience of the moss. For now they share this space and offer a beautiful, peaceful spot to sit and rest.

This post was inspired by Brenda of A Meditative Journey with Saldage. When I saw these ferns they reminded me of the type of image she frequently posts. That being said, I’m sure she would have done a far better job with them than I did.
Canada Violet
Canada Violet
This Canada Violet was growing along a hiking trail in Shenandoah National Park when I was there last May.
Mountain Pool, Dark Hollow Falls
I love these mountain pools in Shenandoah National Park. This one is downstream from Dark Hollow Falls but you can find scenes like this throughout the park.
