the woods

spring is here although the snow covered trails in shingletown sure doesn't reinforce this idea. the woods are spectacular for so many reasons - the many trails to hike, the miles and miles of fireroads to explore on cross bikes, the silence and solitude found on the ridge... and the list goes on...

the woods are nothing less than exquisite. and while i study the forest at a landscape scale, i truly appreciate the finer details. the shapes and colors, the movement of water over the rocks. the branches, the leaves...

this blog is thus devoted to just that - the things that i discovered just the other day - walking in the woods.

ok so maybe i didnt' discover a fuzzy labrador curled up on the carpet but... she's cute.

the water flows... some freezes along the way.

fallen birch...

droopy rhododendrons... just like me, they don't like the cold and thus can be found sulking.


aaahhhh... a white spring.




the path more traveled...
