I took a small hike today to see how some of my old friends fared with the snow. The friends I am referencing are some of my favorite trees that I see on my rambles and hikes. It may seem odd to refer to a tree as a friend; however this is how I feel. I believe if I were to waltz through the woods and find one of them gone that I would mourn. I remember when I first began to feel this sort of connection to nature and I think sometime soon I will share it with y'all.

Now here are two of my favorite trees and the start of the path to the various trails at Blue Hills. The snow made everything seem enchanted. Enchantment on top of enchantment...what a phenomenal day of beauty.
