Opposites challenge - hope (wildcard) by alia_801

Opposites challenge - hope (wildcard)

We went for a walk in Sherbrooke Forest this morning - it started out well, but one part of the track was a little steeper and more slippery than we'd imagined... Still, we both made it around safely.

Today's challenge word is 'hope'. One of my hopes is that we, as a species, really start to recognise how beautiful and amazing our world is, and to really start to take care of it. The forest we went to is part of a national park, full of native birds and plants. We need more of these special places, and to really look after those we have.
Hear hear. Good shot.

Kick, that new pair of shoes in to four wheeled drive... Great greenery shot

great hope, Sherbrooke is a lovely place to go for a walk

Yeah, perhaps we should start with banning those fear-based lawyers from becoming politicians? That would be a good start, methinks! Vote more Dalai Llamas into office and stuff...
This is beautiful, BTW. Thanks for sharing....

Yes great hope! We need more trees and yes our world is so amazingly beautiful! Merry Christmas Alia! :D

This is a beautiful forest scene. What a great place to walk as long as you don't slip. I share your hope.

I agree with Terry, a 4 wheel drive ATV would make a very intereting trip around the forest.
December 26th, 2011  
Beautiful
December 26th, 2011  
Beautiful trees and park - I would love a walk in that park, and you are right!
December 26th, 2011  
I just love this scene. So beautiful!
December 26th, 2011  
Hope works. You hoped you could make it on the steep and slippery trail; and you did.
December 26th, 2011  
Beautiful and lush looking. Great capture.
December 26th, 2011  
I was just talking to a friend the other day about how woods are so lovely to be out walking in, but if you try to capture it in a photo, it doesn't work. This does work! I like the spray of greenery, the vertical lines of the dark trunks....the depth of it....n ice.
December 26th, 2011  
beautiful lush greens.
December 26th, 2011  
@espyetta I was struggling to make the pics work until I discovered my camera has a 'foliage' mode which brings out greens more...
December 26th, 2011  
wow this looks wonderful and inviting, and i agree completely.
December 26th, 2011  
great shot and I like what you had to say in your caption :)
December 26th, 2011  
I agree with @espyetta , it is very difficult for me to capture our wooded areas. A joy to be in, but so tangled I can't catch the feel. You have done a superb job here.
December 26th, 2011  
this is a great shot - loving those lush greens and different types of trees. Agree totally with your commentry
December 26th, 2011  
I love the way this turned out--makes me want to start hiking into these woods...

Great idea....love the color...wish I could go hiking there!
December 27th, 2011  
Looks lovely and lush.
December 27th, 2011  
Green is definitely a very hopeful color! I thought I might have to use one of those wildcards sooner- but it looks like I finished the opposites all in row. Let's see if the wildcard shots work out that way too. Beautiful forest shot!
December 27th, 2011  
Very beautiful! Congrats on the pp

Sherwood Forest is so beautiful, isn't it? I have a friend who lives round the corner, so she gets to walk in it every day! jealous! really like the greens in this pic.
