#Today 06

Good day!

Wow, yesterday…huge meal cooked (leftovers!), salsa made, & a blah chapter magically transformed.

I’m on a roll, & I’m rolling with it.

A walk is upcoming, then another chapter. An editing milestone nears, as does another hike.

Deep breath. I’m loving it.

Be everwell.

Fresh snow coats the grass and brush in the foreground. Cutting across the scene is the Clark Fork River. Across the way, a high bank in shades of brown climbs to evergreen forest. In the distance, snow covers a mountain that disappears into the clouds.

The vibrant green ferns of spring meet the golden late evening sunlight. Mattatuck State Forest, Plymouth, Connecticut. Near Lake Plymouth. June 17, 2021, 6:16 PM.

We are following an old woods road covered with rocks and exposed tree roots and shoots of new spring grass. The forest floor around the old road is covered with a mass of ferns wearing the vibrant green shades of springtime. There are a couple of broad old tree trunks in the surrounding forest, but most of the trunks are narrower, belonging to trees only a few decades old. We are looking downward, so the sky is not visible in the photo. The late afternoon sun is shining in from the right on a low angle, casting long shadows and a golden light where it breaks through.

Good day!

It snowed yesterday morning—again, but has turned mild. This is the time of year when Mother Nature has the flu.

I’ll spend time in the kitchen today. What I eat I cook & what I cook lasts for days.

Otherwise, a walk & editing. I’ll hike again soon, but not on a weekend.

Be everwell.

A wide trail turns white beneath heavy snow as it curls slightly to the left between a river on the left and forested slopes on the right. In the distance where there would be mountains there are low clouds.

Heute war ein perfekter Biketag
Blauer Himmel
Sonnenschein
Fahren in kurzen Klamotten
Angenehme Temperatur
Trails in sensationellem Zustand

Wärmer bräuchte es wegen mir gar nicht werden. Perfekte Mischung aus angenehmer Wärme und einer Prise angenehmer Kühle.

Good day!

*An ice flow hidden in Hellgate Canyon.

Editing is truly like freeing a sculpture from within the stone. To think, I used to despise revising.

It’s about discovery, about going deeper into emotions—or deeper into the forest. It’s about possibilities.

Be everwell.

Behind boulders and brush, ice and snow snake their way down a break in a cliff. In the gully above are trees and bushes of multiple varieties. Falling snow is visible.

Just another set of photos of that rough-skinned newt ([Taricha granulosa](https://w.wiki/CDdZ)) from the other day

The image shows a rough-skinned newt on a forest floor. The amphibian has a textured skin and is dark with some orange coloring, particularly on its underside and limbs. The ground is covered with twigs, moss, and leaves.

Looks like I found a new species, a hybrid between plant and animal. It's sitting on the hiking trail and looking like it's feeding.

A branch with green needles lie on the hiking trail in a way that it looks like a small strange creature is taking in food.

Good day!

I’ve been busy each day this month, yet edited a chapter each day. I’ll have more time today.

Patience, with the process, with myself. Patience, though, doesn’t mean inattention. It means working within myself, while striving.

Finding my creative place begins on my walk.

Be everwell.

A wide trail that was once a railroad, passes to the left of broken cliffs. There’s brown brush to either side of the road and evergreens on the right beyond the cliff. Those trees disappear into the low clouds and falling snow.

Down to 21°F this morning and everything is frozen, especially deep in the woods. Went for a hike to clean trails after the recent ice storm.
#hike #trails #frozen #NHwx #mosstodon

needle ice pushing up out of the ground, pushing up little sticks and rocks and curving under loads. In background out of focus forest with blue skies behind it

Big naked burl (no bark) on the side of a tree looking kind of like a scrunched up face or fist

ALT

A patch of green moss surrounded by ice which is in concentric freeze lines, rays of thick ice, and just generally cool looking paterns

ALT

a dead branch poking out of a little puddle from recent rains that’s surface has frozen over. The stick appears to have caused, or been focus of, some thick rays of ice that are going out in all directions from where it enters the water

Good day!

*Where the Milwaukee Trail enters the wilds. It was also the moment unexpected snow began, the flakes huge.

As soon as possible, I’m off to the store before there’s traffic. Then, my walk & editing.

I’m really excited about my editing progress right now.

Be everwell.

In the foreground to the right is a wide sign that reads, Kim Williams Nature Area. Behind it on the right is a steep, craggy slope that is Mount Sentinel. On the left is a wide trail that used to be a railroad. Hinted on the far left is the Clark Fork River. In the distance, University Peak is almost entirely obscured with clouds. Across the entire scene, large snowflakes are visible.

Sol's heat can feel oppressive in the summer months, and I'd rather be anywhere but on a section of trail exposed to her glare; during the winter months, though, it feels glorious to come out of the Forest and into the warmth of her gaze

The image shows a sunlit forest path surrounded by tall trees. The scene is filled with greenery, including bushes and ferns. Sunlight is streaming through the trees, creating a serene and natural atmosphere. The path is covered with pine needles and small twigs.

Sunset on the trail. Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden, Connecticut. May 11, 2023, 7:36 PM

We are hiking westward along a path high up a mountainside through a forest of trees sprouting the bright emerald green leaves of springtime. The sky is cloudless, a bright pale blue of evening. Through the trees ahead we see the bright orange sun low in the sky, minutes from setting behind a ridgeline a few miles away.

Good day!

Yesterday’s forecast: possible drizzle.

Reality? Drizzle to rain to snowstorm to sunny.

All while I hiked 11.8 miles (19.0 M) from my home, most of it outside the city. It was glorious.

This morning I’ll take my morning walk, draft a blog post, & edit a chapter.

Be everwell.

This is the point where the paved Milwaukee Trail leaves the city and heads for Hellgate Canyon. It’s so wide because it used to be a railroad. To the left, a paved path passes over a pedestrian bridge. On the right, a paved path enters the university. Straight ahead, pavement transitions to dirt and gravel, passing between a field on the right and forest on the left. There are puddles owing to steady rain. In the distance is the entrance to Hellgate Canyon, the clouds mostly obscuring the forested peaks.
