Late Summer, Early Morning, Dappled Trees

The trees, at this time of year, are covered in leaves, their own and those from other trees, as well as the ground cover of vines searching for light, and the dappled light making its way through the woodland canopy. It's almost hard to see anything, like a "dazzle ship" in WWI crossing the Atlantic.

Walking the Circular Path

From a series of nine pathways, The Circular Pathway.

The Path Above the Lake

There are two paths, one by the edge of the lake and one up the hill above the lake. Too often, this pathway has bears with cubs. They are unwilling to move, and you often have to walk backwards, away, to avoid a clash. This time of year the undergrowth is preparing for spring.

This led us to new areas of the forest, and more encounters with very unconcerned deer and monkeys.
