Summer Scenery

 Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language. 
 ~ Henry James

 A typical summer scene in our little country town.

Movement is Life

Walking gets the feet moving, the blood moving, the mind moving. And movement is life. 

~ Carrie Latet

A Favorite Place

There comes . . . a longing never to travel again except on foot.
 ― Wendell Berry 

This is the scene along one of my favorite trails. I am VERY fortunate to have a LOT of nice walking trails where I live.

Reflections

This is one of the sights I see when I walk along the Gateway Trail in Blacksburg. About a 1/4 mile or so into the trail there is a bridge that crosses a stream ( possibly Tom's Creek) and this is looking to the left off of the bridge. I've seen this sight many many times yet when I took this picture it was like seeing it for the first time. Maybe it was the lighting .... maybe it was the reflection that caught my eye .... not really sure what it was ..... but I must admit that I like that feeling .....when something routine becomes new again. Yes, I like that feeling a lot!

Deerfield Trail

Aptly named Deerfield trail....this little Fawn

jumped out in front of me while I was walking alongI have to admit to being a little nervous because I wondered if

Mom would jump out too!

It is a paved trail that is absolutely Gorgeous! 
We lived here 8 years before finding this trail

One of my favorite places to walk, Winter, Summer Spring or Fall!

Mushrooms!

There comes . . . a longing never to travel again except on foot.
 ― Wendell Berry

So many sights to see when I go for my walks!
I'm pretty sure that these are mushrooms growing on the tree in the first pic.  Shelf Mushrooms perhaps? I'm not sure about the gray/white ones.  I thought they looked interesting.
