Forest Textures

I love walking in the woods and finding these incredible textures...

Spring is finally here!

After a long and unbelievably snowy winter, I am so refreshed to witness the arrival of spring!  I always think that spring is like Charlottesville's coming-out party, that she is arrayed in her most decadent debutante garb. :)

A few snapshots of the beautiful walk I took through the Dell last week:

Setting forth

This afternoon I set forth from my apartment to try to clear my head. I've been spending a lot of hours in front of my computer as I try to sort out the details of my current unemployment, and I really needed a walk and some fresh air.

Got me thinking: whether it's a day in front of the computer or a couple years in the same office, sometimes it's really rewarding to set forth on a new path, with new eyes.

I'm looking forward to the adventure that awaits.... :)
