Have you ever...

Have you ever wandered lonely through the woods?
And everything feels just as it should
You're a part of life there
You're part of something good
If you've ever wandered lonely through the woods
If you've ever wandered lonely through the woods.

Have you ever stared into a starry sky?
Lying on your back you're asking why
What's the purpose I wonder who I am
If you've ever stared into a starry sky
Have you ever stared into a starry sky.

Have you ever been out walking in the snow?
Tried to get back where you were before
You always end up not knowing where to go
If you've been out walking in the snow
If you'd ever been out walking you would know.

~Brandi Carlile

So I was listening to Pandora and this song came on. I had to pause it and look up the lyrics. It was that stunning and spoke to me. 

Yesterday was a wandering day. I just slid on the snowshoes and started out. I had absolutely nothing in mind but just to go and observe. To see what would catch my eye.


Ice Crystals


Sunburst Lichen
I think...


I have no idea...


.....but it is
crazy cool...



Robins eating
Buckthorn berries
and spreading the seeds
in poop.


The ice wall


I took off the snowshoes and meandered down the creek. I had no idea what I was looking for or what I wanted to do.

Grumpy Dragon to his 
brother the Forest Dragon:
Hey, I thought you said
Spring was on the Way!



Cool Clear
Water



Moss along the 
rock wall.


Have you ever been out walking in the snow?
Tried to get back where you were before
You always end up not knowing where to go
If you've been out walking in the snow
If you'd ever been out walking you would know.

That was me.

  1. The Robins show up around February here in Iowa. It was a SHOCK! After coming from Michigan, where the birds symbolize spring for us way up there. They pick the crab-apple trees clean within weeks of their arrival... and there are normally HUNDREDS of them in the two small trees next door. Perhaps I will be able to capture them again in a picture this year.

  2. Never heard that song. I am not very familiar with Brandi Carlile's music. No particular reason, she is very talented. Cool Macro shots! Looks like you had a good walk-a-bout and a variety of things caught your eye.

    1. I had never heard her music before either but Pandora picked her for me to listen to and it caught my attention.
      Sometimes I just wander without purpose and that feels just right.
