walking in the woods

.

I've been listening to a book called Nature Fix, about the ways being in nature is good for us.  The health benefits of being in the woods is a recurring theme.

There's a woodsy ravine between our house and the big street that's a few blocks south of our house.  Part of the ravine has a path through it, connecting from one end of the block to the park at the other end of the block.

I decided to walk through woods one day.  It's just a little bit of woods, along the center of a block with houses on both sides, but it's the woodsiest place that's (almost) on my beaten path.

There's a quarter or so of the path through the woods behind us, here, as we look west through the woods toward the park (up at the top of the hill).
