Winter woods walk

Here is where we leave the country road and take a path into the woods.

The path follows a stream (above) and then snakes through the wood itself.

Above is a den (fox maybe) that we get to shortly before leaving the first wood.

Here you can see the field and the second wood through the last trees.

Sniffing around at the edge of the wood.

Looking back on the wood we just came out of, from close by and further away.

Below: looking forward to the second wood. A fairly boring plantation of spruce trees, all in rows. The picture I took of the dogs playing tag in the wood didn't come out.

Coming out of the second wood, a scattering of trees before we follow the power line across the field.

Looking back on the second wood (above) and forward along the power line.

Up ahead (below) the farm where our path joins a private lane. Which will take us back to the country road on which we started. The whole walk from our front door and back takes about half an hour.
