Earlier this week, I ventured out into our Common Area that I affectionately call, the Thirty-acre Wood. It was a dry, clear, comfortable day for a walk. It was one of those late-winter days that teases you with a hint of spring. As I've mentioned many times here on Writ of Whimsy, nature is my main muse. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time out in the local countryside.
This pond is one of two that we enjoy in the Common Area. I've blogged a few times before about this extraordinary slice of nature; but seeing it through the seasons offers a new perspective each time I visit.
This lovely creek runs through the picturesque acreage. The crimson leaves still visible on the distant deciduous trees will soon be replaced with greenery with the arrival of spring.
The creek widens and deepens as it proceeds through the woods. The sun appeared briefly while we continued on our walk. It felt invigorating to be out since it had been weeks since I'd visited this beautiful hinterland.
This historic covered bridge was built in 1898 and is only accessible by residents of our local neighborhood. It allows walkers and horseback riders to enjoy both sides of the creek which makes for a nice long walk or horse ride.
Spending time in Nature always inspires my writing!
What inspires you to create?
