I Love to Hike In the Woods

Ever Changing

That's the beauty of walking through the woods..it evolves daily. New growth, new critters busy with their life. One day this or that was there & the next, Mother Nature has switch gears. Fallen trees and new flowers.   Seasonal changes are fun to observe.  Spring time nesting then  Autumn harvesting. As a kid, I Lived in the woods. Who wanted TV when you could be Robin Hood or a stealthy Indian?   We always found treasures.  Weird bugs, a neat rock. Once I found a tooth of a cow or horse. It was very old and I hoped it was a Dinosaur. LOL..NOT!   Listen to the sound of birds and the movement of something you can't identify. Just be still...It will come to you.

    Good Morning to you wiseowl, thanks for sharing that, I do as well, good story, cool discovery!!!

    I love to hike in the woods, I actually stroll now, hehe there are little things I miss if I fast walk sometimes,...for instance, I saw a little lizard on a rock so I had to stop and stand still so I didnt scare it away, and bend down to see it up close, really cute little thing almost missed it...:) There is always something to discover and its not always the big things, lots of tiny nature beings that are fascinating...youre right too, just be still:)
