I’ve been craving the woods lately.. which isn’t unusal really.. the woods call me often. But, we had been getting a lot of much needed rain recently which prevented me from adventuring too far. Luckily we had a small break in the weather the other day and I took the opportunity to hit the trail.
We decided to adventure to a new area that I hadn’t explored since I was young, and made a goal to make it all the way to the summit. So I thought I would share some of my favorite shots from the adventure and as always... a song to set the mood...
Band Of Horses - The Funeral

Take Me To The Woods...
We reached the summit (6500ft) and were greeted with a stunning view. Even though the mid day lighting wasn’t ideal for photos... I still think it’s quite breathtaking...
I think anytime spent in nature is beneficial, and I always seem to come back feeling a bit more like myself.. more connected, and at peace.
One could say getting lost in the woods is the best way to find yourself again...
Much Love,
Justine

Well, Justine. That's one of my favorite songs you're playing there. I love that band. Coupling it with your beautiful pictures.. got me in tears over here. It is just that kind of day. Wish you were here and we'd have a cup of coffee for real and you could show me your camera and I'd forget the whole world.
Awe love bug! Hugs to you 🤗.. and yes I wish we could chat over coffee.. one of these days it’s going to happen!
Thank you so much ❤️ And that song is pretty inspiring on its own, I thought it matched the experience pretty well. Thanks so much for your beautiful comment.. and I’m always here if you need cake and an ear to chat to.
I so love this road and adventure theme today.. I find roads so poetic .. like they mark a destiny yet to discover , a need to belong or to arrive .. I have always been drawn to that .. I went and looked for this little pic ( from a crappy phone) .
This particular road is down in Manglaralto, Ecuador. A place I'm very connected too.. and an inspiration to many songs. What I consider my ''best composition'' draws inspiration from this . "Long road of dirt and salt , I look for a destiny and a little peace , my song is being born in this walk '' .. This post reminded me of that feeling .. thank you so much for sharing :) ! I hope your walk also gave you some answers .. they hold a lot of wisdom just like that.
And yes to Serena's comment , we all need to share a cup of coffee ;) .
Much Love

Awe Pechi, I love this! I agree.. there is something so inspiring about roads in nature.. I’m really drawn to them as well. And thank you for sharing such a special spot.. knowing it’s been such an inspiration for you makes me smile, and I can see why it has inspired you so much.
Yes to coffee!! Do it now!! ❤️
wow, these are amazing, Justine <3 I love the one with the ladybugs and that single leaf, they're just perfect!
Funny, I was just thinking you hadn't been around for a few days :D glad to see you're enjoying yourself. The weather out there looks pretty great too!
Hey thank you so much! Yeah, I got busy with some community stuff here on Steem and hadn’t had time to post or curate unfortunately 😕 I’m horrible at balancing things, but I’m working on it. Haha
Thanks so much for your comment.. it’s back to rain again.. but I love the rain 😊
Ah, I think a little time away from posting can do you a world of good :)
I love rain too! Especially wild summer rain :D
Lost with my boys somewhere In the Laurentian Mountains, and loving it.
No Bosco cant walk on water. Its cold🤣.
That first photo is so pretty!
Thank you Justin! I’ve been loving your forest photos ❤️
oh wow these photos are amazing, I want to go and the view from the top. Thank you for taking us with you on your walk, I look forward to more with you. Just love all that moss on the bark xx
Hey thank you so much! Yeah the view from the top was insane.. so stunning. I love the moss.. in fact I went on another hike yesterday and have a whole post coming tomorrow about moss 👀 it’s so fascinating.
What a splendid series of photos! That wonderful road, the trees standing in a row, the troop of Ladybug beetles clustered on that old wood, everything is so lovely and fabulous! 😊
Thank you 😊I really appreciate that!! The trees perfectly aligned I thought was pretty special.. and yeah... lady bugs just make me happy haha.
Thanks so much for the lovely comment 🤗
Oh, such wonderful photos! My favorite is the stunning green moss on the tree, followed by the orange and yellow leaves. But they are all wonderful!
Thank you!! I love that moss.. something about moss always draws me in. Thanks for the wonderful comment ❤️

Craving for the woods is a normal status of myself... thanks for the virtual hike I loved all the photographies. I saw the the orange leaves and thought it was like catching fire, though this is a Fire I love to see in Nature, moss is how green thrives in winter, I always say that, even in the coldest bare forest moss is there, evergreen :)
thanks for the little journey along the trail
Thanks for coming along with me 😉
Yeah.. moss is just my favorite.. in fact I have a whole post coming about moss haha. The leaves reminded me of fire as well so I’m glad it wasn’t just me! Thanks for the kind words ❤️

Nice shot fam. But I wonder how the old woods got the gots to call you. Perhaps they really admire your style.
Band of Horses... South Carolina band! Woo hoo!
