I need something lasting and pure to meditate on today, so I've posted this. The last few days have been quite emotional and I'm looking for my center. I came across this photo at random but thought it was beautiful. Turns out it was taken in the Kilmer Memorial Forest, which is roughly in my neck of the woods and contains some of the largest and oldest trees east of the Mississippi. Wouldn't mind being there right now.

Couldn't Help Myself--The Last of the Fall Color
The Grove was just beautiful earlier this month as the leaves changed colors. I took so many photos, and I've only shared a tiny selection here. So here are 2 more that I thought were particularly entrancing. The first was taken at one of my favorite resting spots along the southeast side of the lake. The second is just a spot on a trail way over on the other side of the lake.
All this color is gone now, of course. I went walking yesterday and took new photos, and I'll post those next.

Nature Is Such a Showoff
Fall foliage is at its peak in the Grove! Here are just a few pics I took over the weekend, and I plan to post more over the next week or so.
Get out there and enjoy the show!

Rose of Sharon & Other Summer Scenes in the Grove
Finally getting around to posting some pics I recently took in the Grove back in late July.
These first 2 pics show blooming white Rose of Sharon. The Grove is covered in them this time of year, but they're difficult to get close to since they grow right on the lakeshore amid all the muck. So this is the closest I could get. You can get a better idea by clicking on the images. The white flowers are large with a magenta-red center and grow about 6 feet high.
The Rose of Sharon is actually a variety of hibiscus. Click here to learn more and see detail pics.
Next is a pic of a large fallen tree that I found interesting. It's fallen into a deep stream bed. I like the lines it creates and the contrast in dark and light.
This lush green carpet is made of creeping cedar, also known as creeping juniper, running cedar and other names. You can find patches of this evergreen throughout the Grove year-round.
Last is a shot of the Stone Circle, with its central marker. I've posted on this before, and I assume this is a natural formation. It's a favorite spot of mine for meditation.
