An overdue walk in the woods

I needed to hit the pause button for a bit, so I followed the advice of friends and looked for color in an entirely new spot, deep in the corners of a forest I hadn’t recently explored.

Mother Nature was clearly busy here, splattering the canopy with a rainbow of shades and tones as she got ready to tuck the entire valley in for the winter.

I was alone on the leafy path, joined only by the occasional squirrel scurrying through the fallen leaves in search of supplies for the coming cold. The creek that shaped this valley burbled gently nearby, its cooling waters dotted randomly by fallen trees and smooth-worn rocks.

In the end, I spent more time just absorbing the moment than taking pictures of it. Because sometimes memories are quietly held rather than explicitly captured.
