Changing beauty of the land

As we continue our walks at Resh Mill we uncover hidden beauties and treasures of the land, ever changing with the seasons, from Joe Pie Weed to a variety of ferns, to dried seed pods and ripening pine cones. We heard pilliated woodpeckers and a barred owl in the lovely woods.

Early fall walk

Doug, Galen and I spent a few hours traipsing through the goldenrod and hay fields looking for the best sites for mowing paths. We finally reached the highest field. Beautiful vistas. Pilliated woodpecker and hawks, gurgling streams, asters. Lots of great photos. Beautiful stones we can use for headstones.
