Landis Woods

Since we can't afford to go to the gym now, my new workout is the blue trail in a nearby park called Landis Woods. If you are a frequent reader of my blog, this name may sound familiar. It's quite close to another favorite, often blogged about spot, Landis Valley Museum. I think perhaps I was a Landis in a past life or something. The brothers did have a sister that died at an early age and was an accomplished artist.

So here are the things I see on my walk. It's really quite beautiful as all forests are.

Light shining through the leaves like stained glass. 

"But I'll tell you what hermits realize. If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you'll come to understand that you're connected with everything."

~Alan Watts

On my hike today I saw that Mr. Owl has chosen a Mrs. Owl.

They looked so sweet up there in the tree sleeping. I had no idea that I would see them out at 1PM in the afternoon. Perhaps they're on their honeymoon. Hopefully I'll see some owlets by the end of winter.

And one last Appy Holidays sign for ebay for 2011. It's ending soon if you're interested!
