I decided to spend Thanksgiving at my favorite place for a “little” walk in the woods, Croft State Park<\/a>. Ok, “little” is a relative term, I spend basically the whole day following trails.<\/p>\n

I like to get an early start.

\nWe have lots of Robins<\/a> around this time of year (for those of you up North, this is where they go in the winter).
\n<\/a>
\nGetting pictures of birds up in the trees isn’t easy. This one got away.
\n<\/a>
\nHolly berries were widespread.
\n<\/a>
\nAfter walking through the woods for a couple hours, it’s a bit jarring to come across something like this.

\nA day doesn’t get much bluer than this (Lake Johnson is still low after maintenance earlier this year).
\n<\/a>
\nIt was getting well into the afternoon by the time I got to the Beech Tree Trail, which I know has a lot<\/i> of elevation change in a short distance, so, take the short route back, or go for it? What would Molly<\/a> do? I went for it. There are places it’s better to not look up, but look down after you complete the climb.
