An old school wooden rail fence frames wild grass backlit by morning sunlight. Home from my three-day work retreat where alas there was no hike this time, only work. But I managed to find a few views around the lovely property.

A view of mossy boulders in the woods from last May in Hockley Valley. This is a beautiful area where I’ll be spending three days later this week at a work retreat. Of course I’m looking forward to the hike! 🙂

Deep in the woods, moss on the north side shows one the way. Some say this a myth but many times it is not.
