I got out on another walk for a few miles today. It was a great day for it – blue skies and around 70°. Picture perfect day for hiking.
I have been just staying home, lying low and taking care of some things I need to take care of. Today I felt I needed to get out and about to get away from the house, but it’s also about the exercise. Felt good to be about hiking the last few days.
Big leaf maple – beautiful in the fall

They are actually restoring the river back to its original channel and it will revitalize the area. It is quite the project and the first part that has been done already looks very natural and apparently wildlife is thriving in the new floodplain.
It feels so good to be able to get back outside. It really helps the mind to get out and do some nature bathing. With all the BS going on I can really disconnect when I am in nature. I do not even answer my phone while I am out; it’s MY time.
Thanks for stopping by for a look.
