This morning my friend Sue and I went for a long nature walk in the Winkler Nature Preserve, a fantastic bit of "urban wilderness" just a few minutes outside the city. There were all kinds of well-kept trails, a placid pond, babbling brooks, a mini-orchard, and multiple rustic bridges. Truly a gem of a park. The weather is absolutely perfect today as well--cloudless blue sky, sun abounding, some Fall briskness but not too cold. Ahh what a beautiful day! The Bridges of Fairfax County

Sue hugs a tree (sort of) and tries her hand at a little archery target practice
Reminders that this is an urban wilderness: a parking garage and Look! A natural pipe!

See you next time!
