A Walk in the Woods


Just to show that we are, in fact, getting outdoors and enjoying the change in weather, here are some photos Michael took on our walk today.

We gathered more branches to bring indoors to watch bloom.

And we found the most wonderful old groove of trees off of a dirt road. It was so other worldly, like a very old forest, all overgrown, with hundreds of birds and a surprise of brightly colored red-leafed trees. We just stood and watched and listened for several minutes.

A beautiful yellow daffodil greeted us as we rounded a bend in the road.

We saw and heard so many different birds. Michael took pictures of quite a few so that we could identify them using our bird guides when we got home. Grey and red squirrels both entertained us with their antics. And not to be left out were the geese that greeted us on our return home.

Peter couldn't resist a picture of this reminder of the fall colors.

What a nice walk.
