ACTIVE and CONTEMPLATIVE
at the same time. That's woods walking for you. We took a Father's day hike in the local woods and the boys, a.k.a.mountain goats, found many a fallen tree that just had to be traversed. If it was there, it was attempted. There were a few iffy tree crossings that I can't show the photos for because I was nervous and my hands were shaking as I shot. Do parents ever grow out of this parental anxiety? Maybe not. I know my own parents will still call me if they know I am planning to drive somewhere on a bad weather day, trying to dissuade me from going. Of course, they don't follow behind taking photographs of my risky progress either...so I guess we are a little bit different!
