The other morning we went out on an early morning hike. I love taking hikes no mater what the season, but I particularly love them throughout autumn and into winter. On smaller holidays, it is almost a tradition to take a hike. For almost as long as I can remember, my family has taken a hike together on New Year's Day to help celebrate the new year. I am lucky enough to live in a town that has plenty of hiking trails and parks for my hiking pleasure. These hiking preserves are stunning and I always feel like I am taking a step back in time and traveling many miles away when I am in the woods. It is so quiet and peaceful. Once I am in the woods far enough I have no cares in the world.
I went out to the hiking trail on a cool, almost frosty, morning with my camera in hand. I snapped and snapped away. Something about the particular time of the season and the time of the day was very inspiring. I love days when most of my shots are not wonky and weird.Anyways, I've been toying around recently with starting a flickr page. This past weekend I finally hunkered down and began uploading some of my absolute favorite photos. I don't know why I was dilly-dallying because I love it over there...so much photographic inspiration!!
Have a great weekend (and Soup Swap on Monday!!)

great photos!!!
That looks so lovely. I wish we had autumn woods! All we have is cactus. And rock. And lizards. And ants. Mean ants.
I love the woods. We were supposed to get out of the city (Chicago) this weekend to Michigan, but our plans fell through...maybe I can try and get a hike in anyway out in the suburbs? Not the same thing as the REAL woods though!
Beautiful! I thought the first photo was a picture of cranes. Lovely...
Isn't this a great time of year!?! I am happy you are able to be out enjoying it! Thanks for stopping by my blog-I am anxiously awaiting the creations of the twelve by twelve group!

Oh, you're making me long to get out of the city!!! Hiking? I miss it! and your photos are beautiful!
Thanks for the soup swap reminder...I'll plan somethings stew/soupy for the week-end. And I've been craving apple crisp and ginger cookies. Oh I better get on it!
