“Of all the paths a man could strike into, there is, at any given moment, a best path..A thing which, here and now, it were of all things wisest for him to do..To find this path, and walk in it, is the one thing needed for him.”
~ Thomas Carlyle
“It’s one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it’s another to think yours is the only path.”
~ Paulo Coelho
“One never reaches home, she said. But where paths that have an affinity for each other intersect, the whole world looks like home, for a time.”
~ Hermann Hesse
Love that fourth image, with the reflections in the puddle….
Hoping the path itself found! nice meeting with the cardinal bird!
A beautiful series! Have a nice day
What a glorious walk! I too love that photo with the frozen puddle and reflections and that beautiful lacy green lichen. Lovely captures to show the beauty of the season.
This is so beautiful. It makes me pine for my northern home. I have to agree with Hesse because our paths intersected today and your blog felt like home to me. Thank you so much for your sensitive captures of a northern woods.
I love how you can simply go for a walk and produce a storybook blog post – nice one
Beautiful walking paths.
Love the pics (as always) but your choice of quotes hits me right in the heart!
You pretty nearly make me wish for a bit of snow. Beautiful atmospheric shots, Susan. A great walk to beat off a touch of cabin fever I suspect.
You guessed right..cabin fever big time!
Looks like you may have found a cure. What a lovely walk it appears to have been!
Wonderful images. Looks like the snow is melting a little!
Enjoyed your great winter images! A beautiful walk!
Nice images and equally as well put together with the words
You have chosen such perfect quotes for these beautiful images, Susan.
Wonderful series of quotes and photos. You have a lovely way of telling your story.
Beautiful winter images. I can’t help it I’m loving all this snow. It’s so beautiful! And so far isn’t causing me any anxiety (roof leaks). Spring will be here sooner than you feel it will be. The light is changing, it’s coming. Love love the red leaves and frozen reflection image.
I do love the snow but get antsy for spring every year at this time. I grew up here so I’m used to long winters! But..with these warm temps today, I am a bit worried about roof leaks!
Just gorgeous…through and through….
All of your paths are beautiful. I especially love the meandering footprints. I’m used to avoiding the icy paths but you’ve shown there’s beauty there too.
Great winter images, especially the cardinal. I really like the moss on the tree bark too.
Beautiful images. I love the one of the puddle reflection on the path.
gosh, those images really are stunning
I love the shine in those puddles – gorgeous woodland scene!! 😀
