Everywhere, under, in and around the trees, branches, rocks, there was a variety of birds.. and squirrels, there had to have been a “zillion” of them, grays, beige, rusty, tiny, wee ones, medium size, they were so busy gathering seeds and then running to hide them, they ran across your path, behind you, and unless you actually advanced towards them, you were ignored. People sat on fallen logs, benches like the one above, big boulder rocks strategically placed… human visitors have made small wooden shelters almost like teepees under the protection of big evergreens around the trunks of deciduous trees.
The forest floor looks quiet, but just before I stopped to capture the moment, there had been at least 5 squirrels playing hide and seek in this section of the woodlands. next This bird was being camera shy, I did get another picture of her, but this is the one I thought was sooo cute.
She positioned herself behind the branch, but I could still see her looking at me, watching to see what I would do, what direction I would go.

This is beautiful. It’s great to have good conservation land close by to enjoy nature.
good evening, yes, we are very fortunate here.. lots of green spaces for us to explore, yet we are a city. Happy New Year.. Mark your calendar, Feb. 12 Chinese New Year.
It sounds like the best of both worlds. As soon as my wife hangs up the calendar I made her for Christmas, I’ll mark Chinese New Year on there.
right on.. I loved what you did with your woodland greetings for the new year.
Thank you so much. Happy New Year
Your happy place
Yes Michael .. I think so.. I find such “calm” when I’m out in the middle of the woods, I don’t know that I could spend a long time alone in the woods, but I know I enjoy lingering.
