Few activities refresh my soul quite like a hike in the woods. Today I took some time to stroll familiar territory that never gets old.

Spiders, though important to the balance of nature, were plentiful. This fellow here was one scary looking dude.

The creeks were almost dry but I did find a few spots where the water bubbled up and flowed a bit over and down the rocks.

Found a shed from a small buck, too.

My love affair with trees continues, at every point in their life cycle.

Found the skeleton of this deer. He and I like the same locations.
