April 2012: Crawling through a woody tunnel in the morning

After a nice little swim, I decided to go for a walk in the woods again, this time tried to go into a part of the woods that I haven't been. I also wanted to capture some good sunrise photographs.

The path stretches in front of me, with the marker post in the middle.

How nice, what a lovely way to remember somebody.

I am not sure that the tree will be long in standing.

Photobucket

There she blows

Photobucket

Looking back at the path

Photobucket

Photobucket

More weird trees.

Photobucket

Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, cellulose to dust.

Photobucket

Walking across couple of little bridges

The brown leaves cover the ground

It is getting lighter.

I keep on walking…

I hit a road (which leads up to the hotel)

Lovely bright flowers

That is an exquisite gate

Photobucket

Photobucket

Still empty, the roads…

Photobucket

But the ground is still a tad frosty..I head back home, happy as Larry. Its great to wander around in the woods in the early morning, nobody to disturb, you feel one with God and Nature.
