There's No Such Thing As A

Simple Walk Through the Woods

 

 

I was looking at some pictures from our August camping trip

and after a good laugh I had to wonder if we are very strange

People run to and fro finding interesting objects to

turn into a whole story line.

 

Who knew that in this bucolic setting that

This is a very interesting five-frame story to watch unfold.

Young ladies should never walk by themselves in the woods.

 

 

 

So I don't leave you with only disturbing imagery,

here is a preview of our trip over beautiful Sonora Pass the following day.
