One of my favorite pieces of light classical music is Inviation to the Dance by Weber. It's under 10 minutes long, and you can hear it on YouTube if you want.
Another of my favorite things is to receive an invitation to a hike that would not normally be available. This hike takes place on a private trail in Hamlin Township. That's about all I should say. But I was invited by one of the property owners to hike it with her as a guest.
For starters, the drive in to her home was spectacular.
One of their homeowner members has restored/built this trail. One end is anchored at Hamlin Lake. Always worth a view on a sunny day.
The trail is completely in woods, some if it gorgeous. Most of it, actually.
One section passes through some higher land where selective cutting was done, leaving this great treeline against a perfect October sky. Yes, the trail even has a moderate amount of topography.
This tree is one of my friend's waypoints. The pileated woodpeckers have turned it into a swiss cheese tree.
I found this "lane" along a row of Norway Spruce pleasant, although there was too much contrast for the camera to take a good picture.
The other end of the trail ends at the road, and then we walked back to her house.
I've included this picture of a past-prime geranium from her porch because it is Marie's favorite color!
Worked on projects, went for this hike. Yada, yada.
