“We are gatherers,
the ones who pick up sticks & stones
and old wasp’s nests fallen by the
door of the barn,
walnuts that look like
eyes of owls,
bits of shells not whole but lovely
in their brokenness”
- Nina Bagley

A trail marker post has become the depository of things found on hikes - battered feathers, a penny, a small oak twig.

The bindweed here in Northeast US is an invasive as well, but a relatively easy one to deal with compared to many we have. Comes and goes year to year in gardens I help maintain, often seems to arrive via free mulch etc...

A woodland path, partially obscured by fallen leaves, cuts softly through an autumn forest. The sun, low and visible through the trees, spotlights the seasonal oranges and golds.

For #RockinTuesday: 20yrs ago I built this little #walking #gate in an old #stonerow. The #path has overgrown, but that's on the list. If I don't get to it, maybe one day someone'll find this odd place in the woods, and maybe they'll tend it. #stonework #stonewall #stone #stoneworker #RockinTuesday

It's nice to see the misty mornings coming back to me, the last few days have been great.

Here is an image from a few weeks ago, as I haven't looked at my recent images.

The sky’s white with November’s teeth,
and the air is ash and woodsmoke.
A flush of color from the dying tree,
a cargo train speeding through, and there,
that’s me, standing in the wintering
grass watching the dog suffer the cold
leaves. I’m not large from this distance,
just a fence post

Yesterday I walked Plymouth Woods, a small nature preserve nearby. The Allegheny Mound Ants' colonies were a little unsettling, but that's another story. Meanwhile, here's a well-healed-over branch collar, for #MacroMonday. #Tree #Bark #NaturePreserve #FingerLakesLandTrust #ClassicMono #bnwphotos
