Last Christmas we took a little vacation (lakeside cabin, paths, fireplace, good food and drink, snuggly time) and we are set to do the same this year. Our nature getaway is 96 days away and I am already getting excited. The photos above were taken by me last year to document how I like to spend my [...]

Yes.
We drove down roads,
directed by the flowing
lines of telephone poles,
down gravel, into mud–
(Poetic license! For the record: We didn’t trespass anywhere!)
