Trail Treasures

As rain drizzled this morning, I wondered where to wait while our dog took his run.

The woods beckoned. I walked the winding way discovering...



An arrow-leaved aster baring its russet center.









A fallen aspen leaf holding rain droplets.













A fringe of paper birch rustling in the breeze.












A stand of birch reaching for the sky.












A droplet-covered clover leaf resting on a shiny, pine-bark piece.





Tranquility amidst these trail treasures...
