A Walk in the Woods–Oct. 2011

Fred has been working on our trails….getting several trails that can be maintained with just a bit of mowing with the tractor.  It makes walking in the woods so much more enjoyable……

This is a walk from the front southwest corner of our property (starting at our road close to the mail box) ……And continuing along the south (or front) boundary……

The trail continues down the east boundary, past the power line…….and back into the woods…..

I stopped here to take a picture of the big, beautiful trees….

At the bluff, overlooking the creek…….that’s as far as the tractor goes…….

This Fall, just before hunting season opened, we had seen a number of deer coming up. These are along side of the road just up from the turn-around…..

And these were hanging out just under the crape myrtle trees just down from the cabin. These pictures are not the best, taken in the early morning or evening light, and at full zoom. The deer are so skittish that as soon as they spot us, they run….making it quite difficult to take their picture!

I love the Fall! Getting out in the woods reminds me of why we bought this place so many years ago……..
