Photograph of a sunlit forest scene with a shallow, dry ravine or stream bed winding through a dense woodland. Tall deciduous trees with green leaves fill the landscape, their trunks rising from the leaf-covered forest floor. Sunlight filters through the canopy, casting dappled light and shadows across the ground. Fallen branches and logs rest along the slopes, and underbrush grows sparsely around the trees. The atmosphere is calm and serene, evoking a quiet, secluded place deep in the woods.

Photograph of a sunlit forest path winding through a wooded ravine, bordered by steep, root-covered slopes. Towering, gnarled trees with thick trunks and exposed roots cling to the edges of the eroded embankments. The dirt path, dappled with patches of sunlight filtering through the dense green canopy, curves gently into the distance where a bright clearing is visible. Fallen leaves and scattered branches cover the ground, adding texture to the peaceful, natural scene. The overall mood is serene and inviting, evoking a sense of quiet gratitude for the forest's age and resilience.
#gratitude - for summer days like this.

I am pretty certain that the "save the trees" graffiti is just that, and that those doing the damage have no clue. Anyone in the area knows that Bow in the Clouds was about to undergo updates and improvements as #SWMLC has been pretty vocal about these changes at the preserve.

The lake is out there about half a mile from shore. But the ice isn't walkable, it's filled with air pockets and caves and is a death sentence for any idiot who tries.
