I love tall pines!
In the winter, this is a great place for snowshoeing.
As we walk through the trail, it alternates between light and dark depending on the density of the trees. Here are my friends - aren't they a cute couple?

Oh my gosh. I just love that first picture!
ReplyDelete14.02% ha ha ha thats cute!
Actually I was going to order a bunch of stuff for Christmas! Maybe now is a good time! Thanks for the heads up.
Time with friends is always well spent. Nice pics!
ReplyDeleteThese photos are breathtaking! I love the one of the tall pines. I have never been in woods like that . If these trails are close to your cabin, I wonder how you can ever leave it. Your friends probably feel so fortunate to be able to visit with you in such beautiful surroundings.
ReplyDeleteThe photos and scenery are just amazing!!!! Your friends are beautiful and they are fortunate enough to be able to spend a nice weekend with such nice people. And Scout.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery. I can almost hear the birds!
ReplyDeleteThe pines are beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful place. By the way did SCOUT go with you on these nature walks? Sharon
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteAnd what a wonderful weekend!
I love tall pines too! Unfortunately, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is cutting down all the tall pine tree forest on state land in my area These pine trees were planted by the boy scouts (I believe) in the late 1940's-50's. I was told by the loggers that they are cutting them down in the name of "going green". It is very sad to me as Buck and I have been walking the beautiful trails for 3 years now. They clear- cut the pine forest nearest the Teeny Tiny just this past summer. We have some of the pines on our property-what I call the "Piney woods" and I am thankful for them, but only small tracts of them on private property will by left after the devastation. They are leaving the hardwoods to grow-as they are worth a lot more money. I took "before" and "after" pictures and was going to post them on Flickr--but I'm feeling a little bitter about it--thought I'd wait till I get over it and accept it.
Anyway, I so enjoyed your beautiful trails!
Blessings to you!

Great place for a hike. It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fun weekend.
Such beautiful pictures...wow. Lucky friends to be treated to a bon fire and all that jazz. Fun!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had fun on the trail! I wish I could have tagged along!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Shelly! It must be so peaceful to walk on those trails. I'll bet Scout thinks she is in doggie heaven. I hopey you have a great weekend ♥
ReplyDeleteThose tall pines are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Shelley!! You will have to post about snowshoeing, or whatever it's called. You know of rednecks......barely know what snow is..LOL
ReplyDeleteThose tall trees are fantastic, aren't they. I bet they smell good too? Love looking at your neighbourhood.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Star
Shelley! I cannot believe you live so CLOSE to that! We have to drive miles and miles to find that kind of beauty. Now we'll REALLY have to drive far, because our beautiful forests all burned up - 250 SQUARE MILES of them. It is so sad.
ReplyDeleteSo I'll live through your photos! Thank goodness for blogging!!
Hey - NO SCOUT!!! What's up with that?
:)
Beautiful trail, Shelley. I'm sure your friends loved being there with you two.. I hope that GE and I can visit you at your cabin someday...
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I can see why that trail is a favorite of yours. It looks absolutely beautiful. I also like the tall pines.
ReplyDeleteShelley, Sorry it has been so long since I was here...computer problems, a friend in need and a vacation ....Your pictures are beautiful as usual. I can't believe it is winter again, seems like you just showed snow, etc.
ReplyDeleteHow is Scout?
Barbara

ReplyDeleteShelly -- Those pictures are so beautiful! What a wonderful trail. (Lucky friends!)
