I love walking on soft woodland paths that are layered with pine needles. Pine needles were actually raining down quite heavily in the wind. I love the way they make it easy to walk quietly, be one with the woods, and possibly get closer to wildlife since they don't hear you coming. I haven't started wearing camouflage yet, but it tempts me occasionally. I love sneaking around and blending in!
And how can you beat this view at the end of the path?

Good stuff -- I love that Darner, and the Oak leaves, the reflection shot, and that last photo of what I think is Poison-sumac (Toxicodendron vernix).
