Walking the Trails #1

 One of many walks taken on the nature trails at the University of Wisconsin.  Always great views and things to discover, even “fellow” trail walkers out enjoying the day.

There will be many more postings of the trails and views and trees and flowers in the days and weeks ahead.

 

Enjoy this snapshot of nature at UWM

Something extra for you today. Ran out yesterday to take some of what little snow is left on trails here in the Lakeshore Nature Preserve at the university. These are extras for Daniel - a Blog follower, who enjoys hiking trails but cannot get out to walk like he use too.







The trails continue on - until we meet again!

  6. Jesus you are correct. Every time I take a hike on any of the many trails in this area, I am surprised by so many things new and old discoveries; plants and flowers new to me, different type of trees, animals and birds I discover, so much always to discover. Hiking out-doors is a very good relaxing experience for my "soul".

    1. I try walking every day, even when it has snowed. Walking is a meditation for me. My mind and spirit becomes so very relaxed - I figure that is healthy! With all that is happening in the world today - it is my way of looking for good when so much seems so bad. Hugs to you.

  9. Hello, it's lovely to meet new garden bloggers, especially in these sad days.
    Your garden and the lake view look fabulous. I live near a lake too but our lake is a small pond when compared to yours. :)
    Stay safe and well!

    1. I too like meeting new gardeners. I often look through garden blogs that show-up while I am working on mine and I find interesting blogs, like yours that I enjoy reading. True, the lake here is enormous about 75 miles wide and 300 plus miles long, like an ocean!

  11. Oh, I would have loved to walk that trail!
    Do you know what I like about hiking in North America besides feeling like an explorer finding unknown plants and animals? The toilets, even on the trails!

  12. Yes yes yes! If not along the forest trails at least at the beginning of the trails. The trails in this posting are all along the university nature preserve so there are even university buildings not to far from the trails - nice facilities jaja!

    1. You are always welcome to "walk with me" on any of the many trails I post! You are correct - you become one with nature. That mushroom is very interesting and the first time I saw that variety.
