In the woods you feel protected and welcomed as in a big hug. Silence, shadows and leaves become friends.
Can we wish, if it were possible, to walk in a path strewed with flowers when His was strewed with thorns? - John Newton
before christmas, we made a walk through the vineyards to Schloss Johannisberg, part of Geisenheim/Rhine. the abbey was founded in 1106, the church desztroyed in WWII, reminded me of the situation in Ukraine... Johannisberg castle had famous owners: Nassau-Oranien and Metternich (until 2006) were the most prominent ones. The Riesling from Johannisberg is a famous and delicious wine.
Was a nice day and decided to head out for a late afternoon walk in the woods of Dixie Valley, CA with hopes of getting some nice long stick type shadow shots, this was the best found but the walk was enjoyed. There are no trails in this area so one just picks a point and walks, I carry a hand GPS with tracking and point location capability, just follow the track or set the point at the car and when heading back bring up that point and it will lead you back, also carry a compass as it is easy to get turned around as you go over the hills and loose site of where you had come from (GPS’s have been known to stop working in deep woods). While the shadows are good for direction if you keep track of them as you walk, when the sun gets low or clouds come in the shadows go away, so not a good idea to rely on them.
The number of calling Chiffchaffs has been increasing too and eventually I caught up with one who sat still for me
There were a lot less people about today so I was able to wander slowly.
"We forget that life consists of small everyday experiences and it is what the happiness is made of. A walk in the park, a smile of your baby, a beautiful sunrise, unexpected compliment from a stranger...Those are the moments that count most." - Sumesh Nair

Leadenhall Market, taken with my new toy.
I went here on a Sunday morning hoping to catch the place empty, but there was a couple here taking photos (photographer not seen here). I waited, but they just kept going for ages. So I took this shot with the girl included. Can’t wait forever.

ODESSA: " Oh, yes!...Not enough. We'll have to wait... winter isn't here yet..."
RUTA: " But maybe we can make a very tiny snowman?!"
PAT: " But maybe it's time to go inside and have some hot chocolate!"
OTIS: " Good idea! Follow me!......"
