A Walk in the Woods

Last weekend my husband and I went on a hike through Eagle Creek park on the Eagle Creek reservior. It had warmed up considerably and melted all the snow we’d gotten over the holidays, so it was very muddy and wet. There was actually standing water on some of the trails and it was drizzily outside. Not many other hikers were out, but there were a few runners and we saw several deer.

This stream was quietly serene and beautiful.

The raindrops gathered prettily on the branches.

This little waterfall made lovely music.

And these gentle deer watched us curiously while they foraged for food.
