Breastworks Trail

Susan and Lily ascend Shenandoah Mountain

This time we took the Breastworks Trail.

What is a breastworks, you ask?

It is a wall built breast high.

You stand behind it.

Wartime stuff.

Never again.

Sophie was up for the challenge!

Jackson, too!

Enjoying the view.

Life on the River

Life on the River

 Through the clear water

the light shone beautifully

to blue stone beneath.

The last vestiges

of winter, vanish on the

shady forest floor.

Icicles cling to

the face of the jagged cliff,

hiding from the sun.

The sunset blossoms

into a vibrant flower;

the first sign of spring!

Jackson enjoys the

sights, sounds, smells, and ambience

the forest offers.

Winter is ending.

Perhaps pond skating is a

bad idea, sir.

Darkness descends but

his shoes are a GPS,

aurorae for feet.

Good night, my dear friends.

The frogs sing their lullabies

so the world can sleep.
