One Step at a Time #27

One Step at a Time #27

Tried an unfamiliar trail for this week’s One Step at a Time #27 at Proud Lake Recreation Area. My hike started early in the morning with the sunrise bursting through the foliage of a dense forest.

A sunbeam filters through a dense forest with lush green foliage and towering trees, creating a tranquil natural scene.

With a winding path ahead, I was unsure of what was ahead. I was expecting to see less green and more changing of colors but that will come soon enough.

A winding dirt path through a lush green forest filled with tall trees and dense foliage.

  1. The forest looks enchanting

  2. Gorgeous photos! You can’t beat that green!

  3. Gorgeous greens💚!

  4. I love the streams of light through the trees. A wonderful mysterious path, Pepper. Great image.

  5. You’ve captured lots of green here Pepper … it must be incredible to see all that green in the Springtime when the leaves unfurl.

    Here is my post from Sunday, although it is more about time-traveling and doing a lot of walking due to the strike. You’re welcome to leave it out if it is not quite the criteria you are looking for.

    1. Thanks, Linda. It is amazing that there is so much green out there still.

      There’s no way I will leave your fun post out. Will not even consider it! 😁 Really the only requirements are that the photos are your own and that you somehow got there.

      1. Yes, lots of green and the rain we’re going to be getting over the next 10 days or so, should keep things green and perhaps our nice leaf colors will happen this year since we’re not in moderate drought.

        Okay then – I just thought since this was a real wayback-in-time walk, I’d put it out there. I am glad I had comfortable shoes since we ended up walking everywhere. 🙂

  6. What beautiful greens! And I love to see the see peeping through the trees like that 🙂 I’m sharing a walk this week: https://www.toonsarah-travels.blog/nature-and-history-in-barton-upon-humber/

    1. Thanks, Sarah. It was a lovely morning for a hike. Thanks for sharing your wonderful post. I enjoyed it very much. 😊

  7. Wow, what a gorgeous trail to discover, Pepper! I can’t imagine what autumn leaves would look like there!

    1. I am looking forward to finding out this year. 😁

  8. Pepper, this post epitomizes forest bathing. What a beauty! Here’s my entry:
