How often do you guys do this? I got off of work today and I really didn't want to go home, so I just drove. By complete accident (I think I was switching a cd), I missed switching out of the 610 loop lane so I stayed and realized i could exit Memorial Drive. In Houston, Memorial Drive is where Memorial Park is and a huge nature trail system with different trails, etc.

Anyway, I walked through these trails for like an hour, looking at all of the different types of leaves and spotting a few evidence of animal behavior. There were swamps, vines, brooks, but not much running water because we haven't gotten the most rain lately. I saw all sorts of wildflowers, but no bluebonnets. They normally need more sun which is why they grow on the sides of the roads mostly. This walk was wonderful. The sights, the smells. Reminds me of my childhood and the woods behind my house. Life really is as simple or as complicated as you make it.

And you were so happy that Reid had made a thread about walking and woods.

I often take walks in the woods mostly late at night until dawn. my friend lives in an old house which many say is haunted and i enjoy the woods behind her house. i always ask for ghosts or anything to say hello but i only hear the breeze. when im there i try to add a few lines to the tree. i like the woods.

i heard noise when i was out there and saw these eyes. it was just a deer.

I went geo-caching once. That was pretty cool. One coordinate was at an old copper mine in the Upper peninsula of MI. Near Houghton-Hancock. Poked around there and avoided falling down a deep mine shaft. You know it's deep when you toss a rock in and you can't hear it hit the bottom.

And then the next coordinate was in the Hungarian forest near the mine. great little place to take a mini-hike.

I wish I had the pictures on this computer, but I don't. I have to fix the computer they're stored on. *lazy*


One of my favorite places in the U.P. is the waterfront in Calumet, MI. It's wooded, quiet, and I'll probably never see it ever again.

There are no real woods here. Maybe one day I'll take a walk through the arboretum and take some photos.
