When the leaves first started to change and the tress started to loose those leaves we took advantage of the a nice weekend day and went walking through the woods. I took Mayze, our Boxer puppy, and my daughter and her friend. The purpose of the walk through the woods, besides getting everyone out to enjoy the fresh air, was to look for pine cones. I was on a mission to find them for some craft projects that I had in mind. We went to a location that we walk a lot, but we chose a path that we had not taken before. With the path twisting and turning and up and down hills we did not find those pine cones until the very end of the walk. The girls enjoyed the walk but said to me in the end "Couldn't we have just started at this end?" They thought process- if we had started at this end she would have found what she was looking for and not made us walk that long walk through the woods.
So, pine cones were our mission of what to find in the woods but they were not the only things that we came across on our walk. Here are three images showcasing what we did come across.
Since it was so late in the season I was surprised that we came across this little guy. There he was just laying in the middle of the path, I had to make sure that I paused and captured him. I could not decide which image effect I like best, so I thought I would share them both.
Not much farther down the path from the white caterpillar we came across the above image. You can tell that it has been there in the middle of the woods for some time. I was really impressed with how well it has stayed together. I had to pause and capture a few images of this as well. How often do you take a walk through the woods and come across a stone fire place?
I chose to share this in black and white because I felt that it show cased this rare and old find the best.
