A stone I saw in the woods, with a little clear crystal in it.

The creek in the woods. The black slate showing underneath is why the wood is called Black Rock.

Me, waving to my Tumblr friends while at the woodland spring in the early morning. 

Poor photo of an eastern phoebe in the nearby woods this morning.

A big chunk of white quartz covered with moss.

Water pouring over stones. These pictures are all from my walk in the woods yesterday.
