Ilumination

More unseasonably warm temperatures...in the 70's. Our forest is now dominated by the yellows of beech trees, making everything seem light and airy. The floor of the forest is now soft with leaves and the damp from rains from the previous week, rich soil in the making. I stood on this flat spot on top of a ledge, a place I had not yet been and looked down to the pond, the brook, the trail, a nice vantage point.
