Winter woods

In just over a week I have wandered through tropical woods in Thailand and now a snowy north woods in Maine, USA. Although it may seem that I seek out forested areas to explore, the fact is that I sometimes simply find myself in or near them and are drawn to their wondrous shapes, majestic yet serene bearing and intricately graceful lines. 

In this post, I share photos from two walks on successive days during late spring snowfalls that layered everything in a blanket of crystalline snow. How fortunate I am to have walked in two very different yet in many ways similar environments in a matter of days. There is something quite special about being alone in the woods no matter where they are.
