A Walk In The Woods

I have been working here and there due to a cold I caught and have not been able to get rid of yet.
I have added my spring trees and am happy how they added more perspective to the scene.

I idea behind this piece is a memory of mine as a young girl.  I used to go hunting with my Dad not so much because I liked hunting (I never carried a gun) but because I love walking in the woods and fields.  My Dad was a very successful man but he worked hard to support a family of nine children.
If you wanted to spend time with him you had to take advantage of the off time he spent hunting and fishing.  This was not due to just pleasure but also to feed the family.  So I would go with him and we would walk down to the river and cross that.  You rarely walked far before  you had to crawl under or over a barbed wire fence and believe me, I rip several jackets doing that.  It was beautiful in spring when the birds were singing and it was so peaceful.  There was a little bit of snow in the shady areas but the rest was already turning green.  There are just a few things that keep me in the present or the Now.  Walking in the woods is one of them.
