Path in the moonlight garden section of the local botanical gardens

Clumps of grasses and spring flowers on both sides of a path that has a bit of dappled shade with bushes and trees in the background.

Sundays walk above Tucker's Grove Park in #SantaBarbara for #FootpathFriday #california

A scenic view of a lush green area with tall grass, trees, and a winding dirt path. The sky is clear and blue, indicating a sunny day.

A winding dirt path through a lush forest, featuring large trees with sprawling branches and dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves. Rocky elements and low vegetation are present on the sides of the trail.

I had a lovely bimble in the woods today. Coed Y Foel is a Woodland Trust nature reserve. Ancient sessile oak woodland covers one side of a valley and the other’s been (re)planted. A stream and marshland run along the bottom. I learned that the ancient woodland was felled in WWI and the oak regrew from coppice stools. After grazing was stopped in the late 1980s, all the woodland under storey species (bluebells, bilberries, holly etc) returned. This fills me with hope.

Photo of a view down a valley, a worn footpath leading along the valley bottom through lush grass and rush. A stream is hidden under thick vegetation on the right. The steep valley side is densely wooded, predominantly with oak but the white flowering hawthorn at the margin. On the left the slope is more gentle and grass gives way to younger trees, a mix of native species. The sky is a cloudless blue.

A photo of a faint path through dense woodland, only a scattering of sunlight falling onto the bluebell strewn floor.

Photo of an old, slightly sunken path through the same woodland. A defined bank on the right. The ground is still thick with brown fallen leaves but the new growth is spring green. Sunlight breaks through up ahead where a tree has fallen, a spotlight the path.

A view across the valley, through more recently planted native broadleaf woodland, to the hill on the other side and slope covered in ancient woodland. The top of the hill is clear of trees, the site of an Iron Age hillfort. The sky is so so blue.

Ascending one of the pour-offs near the bottom of Lower Water Canyon.

A hiker ascends a pile of large basalt boulders, about six feet high. It's not a particularly technical climb, but does require using your hands a little. Two hikers before are already on top, and one waits at the bottom, not beginning the ascent before the current climber has made it. They're all wearing day packs of one sort or another. Above and below the short climb, the trail follows an arroyo, with some dry mud cracks visible in the trail.

For #footpathfriday, is there anything better than early morning in the forest?

A dirt path through thick green undergrowth traverses a hillside. Bright sun slants through the fir trees.

A wooded area featuring a pathway winding through lush greenery, with ferns and moss covering the ground. A stone picnic table is visible among the trees.

Charming Carmel-by-the-Sea, watercolor 20x16

Happy #footpathfriday and #Fensterfreitag Follow the #footpath to the #window at the end. It's an art gallery. I love to visit Carmel, it's so peaceful and charming. This painting is inspired by one of my visits.

I spent last weekend in the Lake District with some old friends. This was the walk back from the pub as the sun was setting. #FootpathFriday

A path leading out of a forest, into the setting sun. Three people are walking ahead of you, slightly blurred with the long exposure. The tree trunks are silhouettes.

A green meadow with a path leading through it. Two people are admiring the sunset over the distant hills.

A stony track, slightly uphill, leads away from the camera. On either side there are old mossy drystone walls, rough grass and ferns. There are tall trees ahead with patches of pale sky visible through the branches. Part way along the track is a man in a beige wide-brimmed hat and wearing a blue rucksack. He has a walking pole in his left hand and a map in his right hand and is walking away from the camera

Visited Kellie Castle today. A lovely footpath winds from the car park to the entrance. #FootpathFriday #Scotland #Fife

A footpath leads through woods with a large tree with a thick trunk on the left-hand side and all around are many many wild garlic flowers.

St. Elmo W Acosta Bridge, FEC Strauss Trunnion Bascule Bridge, Saint Johns River, downtown, Jacksonville, Florida

Early morning view along the pedestrian crossing of a large highway bridge, next to an old railroad train trestle and drawbridge, with the downtown skyline and Saint Johns River in the background as warm, glowing colors rise from the horizon.

Two footpaths branch out from each other in this photo, each one moving in parallel but separate paths into the forest.

Grass is growing and the trees are just beginning to turn green again. Old, dead grasses from last year are still standing between the paths, probably because few if any people walk there. The grasses in the background are shorter.

There are also a few evergreen trees in the foreground of this forest.

The sky in the distance is filled with fluffy white clouds that provide a little shade.

#Today 16

Good day!

Another big step is complete on the way to publishing Book2. A lot of little tasks remain, none of which take long, except maybe the blurb, which is started.

Time to take care of chores, but first a walk on a cool morning. Yesterday’s rainy walk was glorious.

Be everwell.

A picture taken from the shadows looks down a path that immediately enters the sunlight, then curls up and to the right. To either side are trees. At center, the view is open and shows the wooded mountains across the valley, clouds sitting low over them.
