On my walk today, the air was crisp, it had just finished raining and the sun was beaming through the trees.  After a 13 hour graveyard shift, it was all that I needed to regroup and refresh.   I thought I would do a little photographic study of the beautiful and intense, rich colors and textures in the forest.
I used my Samsung Galaxy phone and I am really impressed with the quality of photos so far. 
Thanks for checking out my post.
