Today, we traveled south and east towards Glenfeshie. The scent of scots pine, rowan, birch, juniper and aspen fills the air. The trail is covered in pine needles and scattered cones. Among sleeping heather, young trees have found the space and light to grow, with a granny tree watching over her descendants.
We meet a group of walkers on the way, who make a fuss of Misty. An older lady herself, her enthusiasm for discovering new places is as fresh as ever.
high on the hill –
the pitter patter of
melting snow

I love those grandmother trees. There’s one in the forest above Zürich that has allowed a whole world to emerge beneath her sheltering boughs. I put her in one of my novels. Your walks are in a world that is the total opposite of mine and I enjoy that you take me along. ❤️ to Sweet Misty
