My entry for the #wednesdaywalk community, as hosted by @tattodjay.
Today's morning walk featured plenty of green (much needed and FINALLY abound in the are) and bird sounds. I used to go for walks in the morning with earbuds to listen to podcasts on UFOs, Gnosticism, or some other esoteric topic...but I haven't resorted to that for quite some time. Why bother, when the sounds of life is buzzing around you when you immense yourself into nature?
This walk is a favorite trail for me. To get a solid hike/heart workout in, one has to climb up these stone stairs first (old rocks from the quarry that was this area over 100 years ago...)
Next, a pass by an old limestone cropping/overhang...
A few more switchbacks and the green starts to get a bit more dense...there is Hedgehog bluff, again...
Then, a few more switch backs to make one down the bluff and back to civilization.
Finally, back to the base of the bluff.
I know I've mentioned how lucky I am to have a swamp so close to me...and honestly, to have these woodlands less than a five minute walk away from our home...well, we are fortunate indeed! Sometimes, I feel guilty we have so many amazing places nearby. Sure, it's not 70F year round and sunny, but I'll take it every day.
Thanks for checking out my #wednesdaywalk share. I hope to have another batch of photographs to share next week as spring continues to improve in this part of the world. Hoping everyone else had a wonderful Wednesday too!
WOW that is such a beautiful area, must be so refreshing hiking there
Thanks for joining the Wednesday Walk, its my pleasure to host it and see all the posts each week from all around the world, including yours, if you have time visit some of the other walks this week there are so many interesting ones
Ah looks beautiful man, I remember that limestone bluff there from photos in the fall with Hattie! Awesome to see that you've got that a few minutes from your place. We have some cool stuff as well but not that close yet. Maybe when we move we'll get something like that available!
I am amazed by those stairs made by stone. It is old but still looks so strong. You had a great walk that day.
wao,it is so beautiful
