The warm sun and mist in the air brought out the fresh smell of rainforest on Vancouver Island. Sure beats the smell of fresh coffee in the morning:-)

The warm misty air is surely a winner for the setting in this shot Darryl.
This is just heavenly, but to have a bench here with that morning coffee...wouldn't that just be perfect?

Darryl, I really like the detail of this image. I can even see water dripping from the foliage. I'm really looking forward to spring and all of the many photographic opportunities it will bring...

Darryl, this is a wonderful misty forest view. The sun must have felt delightful shining through all the trees and foliage. I would like to be experiencing this scene with a steamy cup of coffee - that would be a treat :^))

Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. - Churchill

Did you take this in January Darryl? I love the shafts of sunlight breaking through the thick foliage. The air is heavy with moisture yet the leaves look so green and lush. The only thing I don't like about this image is that I didn't take it ;=)

this is truely breathtaking. Inspired mostly by your pictures, i've dreamed of making a trip to vancouver island for a long time, and taking pictures like this. although we get snow here in calgary, we just dont have that moist air that lights up so beautifully, and our greens just dont compare. there is nothing i can even start to criticize in this image, my favourite of all of yours, everything is so interesting in it!
