And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: “And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.” John Muir While walking amongst some aspen trees with green leaves showing the signs of spring in the air. This was a view looking to the southwest at a roadside pullout along Utah Scenic Byway 12 in Fishlake National Forest. Google Maps adds a reference of Spruce Spring. My thoughts in composing this image was the capture a look across this forested and woodland setting with aspen trees all to my front. I would angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly upward, looking to the skies above, while having the focus with the trees. The image itself was in someways a keepsake to cooler temperatures with spring-like weather. Watching aspen tree leaves shimmer with each passing breeze, but only a capture of that one moment in time. The blue skies and clouds would be that color contrast to complement the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image.I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.

The northern end of Canaan Valley is characterized by regenerating northern hardwood forests interspersed with red spruce, open fields converting from pasture to heath, and beaver-curated wetlands. When the first white settlers arrived in the mid-1800's, the valley was a nearly impenetrable wilderness composed of mud-sucking "muskegs", gnarly rhododendron thickets, and monstrous stands of red spruce and eastern hemlock. Within 50 years, it was all gone, cut over and burned down down to bare rock. Salvation for this "Land of Canaan" has only recently come in the form of the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge, which has set about the painstaking restoration of the valley's diverse (and occasionally threatened or endangered) plant and animal communities, some reaching their southernmost limits in these mountains.

From top: a view toward Cabin Mountain from Middle Ridge, whose open flank is overrun by lowbush blackberry, mountain laurel, bushy St. John's wort, bracken fern, and dotted hawthorn; several of the beaver-engineered wetlands, a mecca for birdwatchers from throughout the Mid-Atlantic region; the blazing red berries of red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa), a hugely important food source for local wildlife; the fanning white corymbs of American black elderberry (Sambucus canadensis), which comes into bloom about two months after red elderberry; quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), whose delicate leaves flutter in unison at the slightest breeze; a beautiful young Canaan fir (Abies balsamea var phanerolepsis), a subspecies of balsam fir whose fragrant, blue foliage and high needle retention have made it increasingly popular as an ornamental; a lovely patch of hairy hedge nettle (Stachys hispida), a stately native mint; tall meadow rue (Thalictrum pubescens), a wetlands-loving perennial that clumps impressively along streambanks and bog margins; and lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium), whose berries are just now starting to ripen.

My Forest Casa Amongst the Aspens of Utah by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: A setting looking up and to the south while taking in views of spring time in this aspen grove in the Fishlake National Forest. My thoughts on composing this image was to have a color contrast with the greens and yellows of the aspen leaves with that of the blue skies and clouds above. I liked the view of looking up as it gave a sense of perspective with height in the trees all around. I later worked with control points in DxO PhotoLab 5 and then made some adjustments to bring out the contrast, saturation and brightness I wanted for the final image.
