Litchfield, Connecticut, has many a beautiful acre of land set aside for conservation. I took these photos along a walk through some of them on a bright March Sunday. I love the way March sunshine finds its way into everything. In the top photo, leaves and pine needs were actually bursting the skin of a fallen tree. It was strange and beautiful.

I enjoyed each and everyone of them BUT the second one -- the macto -- is my favorite! Great job!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos! and it was like taking a walk with you and seeing all these wonderful sights! Thanks for sharing! They're great even long distance!!
ReplyDeleteYou can hardly tell the time of the year on this pictures. You caught the unchanging parts of woods!
ReplyDeleteI love it when bloggers show what they see in their walks, it's like discovering similarities in my walk and comparing differences too.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week.
I miss walking in the woods. There is an adventure behind every tree. LOVELY photos!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you focused on the details from your walk. Wonderful shots of the wondrous forest.
ReplyDeleteCareful walking in Connecticut! Hopefully South Windsor is some distance from you:
ReplyDelete"Conn. Woman Finds Alligator Roaming down the Street
"SOUTH WINDSOR, Conn. (AP) -- A small alligator has been captured in South Windsor after it was found roaming on a local street.
"Police say a woman walking near the sewer treatment plant Sunday afternoon spotted the 3 1/2 foot reptile on Vibert Road.
"Police contacted the Department of Environmental Protection's Conservation police and DEP experts arrived at the scene to capture the alligator.
"DEP officials believe the alligator had been a pet that was abandoned by its owners within the last 24 hours.
"The alligator is being kept at the South Windsor Police Department until Monday, when it will be turned over to Rainforest Reptiles out of Massachusetts, an organization that works to educate people on reptiles and the importance of preserving their habitats."
Wonderful pics, all of them. But that first one is out of this world!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, we walked in the polder and saw on our walk also fallen trees, which they kept there to let them rot and be a home to small mammals and insects. It looks as if this also happens in your country.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful macros!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
Soothing details! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI am always virtually walking my visitor through places so this was nice for me to be the visitor. So pleasant and green.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful and they are great just to sit and look at and let the thoughts just be on their own.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely series of photos. Thanks for taking us along on your walk.
ReplyDeleteIn the details is the finesse.Treasures to be caught with the camera.
ReplyDeleteWalking on conservation land is one of my most favourite things to do. Let's hope our governments continue to preserve these beautiful spaces.
ReplyDeleteReally great macro shots all of them. Each have an artistic touch about it. I especially loved the punctured brown leaf and the mosses for the light and colour.
ReplyDeleteNice to join you on your walk. Isn't spring just such fun!

ReplyDeleteYou're my kind a gal, I lve the minutiae of the forest floor or meadow, there is so much present, past and burgeoning life there.
ReplyDeleteGood eye. I like how you purposely avoided generic scenery shots, and opted for a closer focus. Well done.
ReplyDeleteFabulous photos from a great time of year.

ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how the smallest and most ignored things are so very beautiful ... a dead leaf.
ReplyDeleteDeath and life renewing itself .. these photo reminds me not to be afraid of death, as it is a beautiful part of life .. and nothing ever truly dies, it just revamp itself into something else.
You always bring out the best in the subject.
ReplyDeleteSandy: A neat view of the different flora of the woods. You captured them nicely.
ReplyDeleteI have been walking the woods lately too. It is such fun, especially this time of year when the wildflowers are beginning to show their blooms. They always look so delicate in the seemingly harsh environment. They soldier on with their uniforms of cheer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
