Thanksgiving and Then What?
What comes after Thanksgiving? A hike, of course. If I'm thankful for anything is the chance to be out in a forest on a trail. And today was a perfect day for it.
This is early with some overcast. No one on the trail this morning, except me.
I'm always on the lookout for poison oak and I never fail to find it. This little guy looks so sweet, but does it ever cause me suffering and itches galore if I touch it.
My shadowy selfie.
Rattlesnake grass. On a windy day, it gives you plenty of warning.
A bit sunnier as I head toward the coast.
A new pine sunning itself.
Dandelion looking up.
"The unquiet spirit of a flower
That hath too brief an hour." Ellen Mackay Hutchinson Cortizzoz

Along the trail there are always metaphors. Here's life's grand circle. Out of the dead stump a beautiful green bush thrives.

Quote of the Week: “Trails are like that: you're floating along in a Shakespearean Arden paradise and expect to see nymphs and flute boys, then suddenly you're struggling in a hot broiling sun of hell in dust and nettles and poison oak…just like life.”
