After winding a path through the blue trees of Seattle earlier this week, I started thinking about other paths I have travelled down; here are a few of my favourites. First, a moss-flanked pathway into thick forest at the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island.
“If the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads.” – Anatole France
Next, a sandy trail through Angel Canyon in the heart of Utah.
“When the path ignites a soul, there’s no remaining in place.” – Hakim Sanai
Finally, a dark and mysterious path through an unexpected bamboo forest in Rye, New York.
“A path is a prior interpretation of the best way to traverse a landscape.” – Rebecca Solnit

I have a folder on pathways – I selected this one http://beyondthebrushphotography.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/coastal-path-cornwall-england/
Gorgeous, Lynne, I fell in love with Land’s End and that whole area when I visited. Smugglers and shipwrecks and mysteries galore. 🙂
Yes, Daphne du Maurier novels, Jamaica Inn and all the lore.

they all look inviting to walk on and the dark one through the trees looks mystical; another pathway to walk on: http://canoecommunications.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/weekly-photo-challenge-back-pathways/

Hi Ailsa
Some pathways from wayyyyy down South 🙂
here’s my post for this week…
My favorite walk in the park, especially when it is wet and the colors are saturated.

My favorite path is found in a wonderful park close to where I live in Göteborg, Sweden. http://vackrare.com/2013/05/26/pathways
