I love being out in the woods. I do fear deer ticks but slather on the Deet. This site is not far from our house, near an old cellar hole. Here and there in you see piles of dead trees; I guess when one falls it often takes others down with it. They decompose, get covered with moss and lichen and provide all kinds of benefits to forest fauna in their little microcosm. The dappled light among so many standing trees is wonderful for a painter. I used a palette knife on a lot of this. I’m liking that tool more and more.
