Peaceful

Riley and I pass this small clearing often on our walks and I always find it inviting.  We've explored it a little, and it doesn't go very far.  Right after the trees you can see in the background is a rather steep drop to a stream, and beyond the stream is the side entrance to a lumber mill.  So it's a little deceptive, but on its own, very pleasant.

Gray skies, not terribly cold today - I could see the icicles starting to melt.  Tomorrow another storm system is supposed to come through with snow and freezing rain.  Yay.
