the woods.

I think I am in love with the woods, especially during the springtime. I love the soft whisper of the wind through the trees, and the creek’s bubbling laugh after a good rain. The smell of fresh wildflowers, the snap of underfoot twigs, the shadows cast by the overhead trees – it’s simply beautiful.

The other day I went walking through these woods, a good friend of mine in tow. We brought our lunches, and had a picnic on top of a fallen tree. {Which, by the way, we affectionately nicknamed “Bart”.} The two of us ate our goodies, all the while giggling, teasing each other, and just enjoying the peace. I leaned back against a tree, with my knees pulled up to my chest. The breeze gently played with my hair and I felt the solid roughness of the bark against my back. I smiled to myself, utterly happy and content. It was at that moment, as I sat there listening to the melody of the woods, that I realized that it’s one of my favorite places ever.

Do you have a special spot?
