Photographer Captures Colorful Mushrooms In Vibrant Arrangements

It takes an extra-ordinary eye to see the beauty in the ordinary. And it takes even more exceptional talent to make this beauty shine for others to see. Jill Bliss, a gifted artist who describes herself as a modern nomad of the Salish Sea, happens to have both.

"In 2012 I sold most everything I owned and bought a van, embarking on a year-long self-imposed west coast sabbatical to reconnect with the slower natural pace and living things I knew and adored as a child…" Bliss shared on her website. "That sabbatical year has stretched into a new life chapter – I've been living, working, travelling and exploring amongst the Salish Sea islands of Canada and Washington State ever since."
