into the woods

i took a detour on the way home from school today and ended up on a hiking trail somewhere between the university and my house. it was quiet, serene, and really beautiful, and i had never gone down that path before so i was curious to see where it went. i took some pictures with my phone and while they really don't do the trail any justice, here's a little glimpse of what i saw today:



even though i doubt i'd go again any time soon, i'm really glad that i tried it out and that i went (even though in retrospect it probably wasn't the smartest or safest thing to do.) there's just something super peaceful about being surrounded by huge trees that remind you of how small you are, and the sound of snow crunching beneath your feet reminding you of how small you once were. :)
