Akin to Ava: New Friends

Wow. These photos are kinda old actually. They are from a jaunt to Blue Hills back at the tail end of December. It was a warmer and more humid day for the Winter month and the recent snow and ice was melting in its warmth. I loved the juxtaposition of the melting ice and the autumn like foliage.

 This is Millie. She reminds me of a baby Ava. I am just so into lichen. When I went off trail I stumbled onto this little tree and probably spent five million years taking pictures.

I love when I stumble on little holes in trees. They makes me think of little hidden treasure havens. Sometimes, for some little critter they just might be.

This was the 'treasure' I found. Ok, so it is essentially some ice, wet leaves, and other assorted bramble. But in my mind at the time it was a lot more magical for sure.

Old time friend of The Story Girl. This is Joseph for his fallen roots are of many colors.

 Ughh....I like this picture, but it doesn't even begin to capture the hazy wonderful feeling I felt when I walked into this little off trail clearing.

 Magic!
