Through the woods

This is part of my walk with Tasha when we "go through the woods," as I call it. It's the Artsy Organized Neighbor's little road to nowhere. He'll probably use it when he takes out all the wood he cut last winter and spring. The wood, cut into neat one meter lengths, is stacked here and there along the path. The canopy of oak, chestnut, and hornbeam filters the light in different ways depending on the time of year.

The autumn sun lights up a clearing along our leaf-strewn path.

Most of the walk is along our normal route either on the tractor road or along the edges of the vineyard parcels. One option takes us on a little path into the woods, then on to the dirt road in the photo, before we emerge on the other side.
