I went for a walk last night to a special place. There are trees there that speak to me. They reminded me of things I’d forgotten. I remember now. I appreciate my special poplar trees. ___ p.s. I’m going to be starting to post irregularly on this blog and my Kitchen Sink Wisdom blog. I’m [...]

boardwalk
I actually took this photo not one, but two weekends ago, when I was walking in one of my favorite nearby woods. This path was flooded for most of the spring, and the day I took this photo was the first time I’d walked this way since last fall. (That’s the swampy edge of a [...]

walk in the woods
Whenever I can, I like to go walking in the woods. These are some photos that I took a few weekends ago, that I hadn’t gotten around to posting before now. The spring path was very muddy. Good thing I had a new pair of rubber boots (below). This area near Walkers Pond is very [...]

wildflowers
I took these photos a couple of weekends ago when I was walking in the woods. I don’t know why, but I love photographing dandelions. I also got some shots of some unknown (to me) wildflowers. The lilies of the valley at the end aren’t actually wild – I shot those in the back lane [...]

tree branches
I took these photos a couple of weekends ago when I was walking in the woods. I loved the textures and visual rhythms of the seed thingies on the branches below.

renewal – acorns
On the same walk where I took this photo, I also spotted some acorns on the ground. Actually, I spotted the oak leaves first, and then went looking for acorns, which I figured must be there somewhere. I was worried that the squirrels might have gotten them, though. I appreciate the tiny acorns from which [...]

renewal – new grass
When I went for a walk in the woods on Easter morning, I saw this tree. There were clumps of fresh, green grass growing in front of it. It made me laugh, because grass isn’t common in these woods. I appreciate life that can spread itself far and wide. Photo theme for April: Renewal

renewal – forest reclamation
On the same morning when I took this photo, I also saw the above sign on the woodland trail that I was following. They’re reclaiming some of the area for natural restoration. (Full disclosure: I have been know to disregard signs like this.) I appreciate renewal of the natural world. ~ Photo theme for April: [...]

woodland cathedral
This morning I decided to go for a walk in the woods. I’ve been doing this a lot lately, because walking in the woods is good for me. Plus it’s a great place to take photographs. And I feel most alive when I’m taking photographs. So I went for a walk in the woods. And [...]
