Tara Ellis Photography; Nature's Tapestry

“Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every clearing, and every humming insect is holy in the memory and experience of my people. The sap which courses through the trees carries the memories of the red man…” – Chief Sealth (Seattle)I believe that if we all held this same belief, the world would be a different place. Nature has always spoken to me in a kind voice and it is through my photography that I try to share its story. In these digital images, my goal is for the viewer to see them as I did when standing there. There is no trick lighting or Photoshop, no hidden agenda; just nature at its finest. It's important to me to capture the vividness and life of the scene or sometimes the smaller details of something we would never consider to stop and stare at. So come along with me on a journey in pictures, as I take you through some of the gorgeous mountains and countryside's of Washington, Oregon and Montana
