The North Woods pedestrian, alert to the prevention of soil compaction and erosion, can use a walkway to visit an intimate locale of springs and brooks.

Your waterfall photo brings back memories of the sound of spring waterfalls along the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota. Lovely photographs, all.

Thanks very much and glad the photos brought back memories. I’ve been to the north shore of Superior, but along the Ontario side. An incredibly beautiful lake!

Always such beautiful pictures and those bridges are such a needed idea – all hail those that put in the effort to build them.

The US Forest Service showed a lot of foresight. It is a magical place, with the dappled light and the hushed sound of the springs. 🙂

I read Bill Bryson’s ‘A Walk In The Woods’ recently and one of the things that it clearly demonstrates as he comically and not entirely successfully tries to conquer The Appalachian Trail is that the US Forest Service are an example to all.

Me too. I was contemplating his ‘Notes from a Small Island’ whilst walking just now. He has it right. The mess my homeland is in is entirely due to not accepting that in the end we are simply a small island … smart chap.

It really is a tranquil place on a summer afternoon. The soundtrack is water rushing, leaves rustling, and children playing.

Looks like it was a beautiful and peaceful walk 🙂 It reminded me of a forest resort I stayed at recently – but during monsoon.

This is one of my favorite places. Glad it brought back some good memories for you. How do you like monsoon? We don’t have anything like it. Actually, it has been drier than usual this summer, which means the colors won’t be as bright when the leaves turn.
