In The Woods

One of the reasons I love living in Oregon is the feeling of solitude you get walking in the woods. The trees covered in heavy green moss and the only sound is that of twigs breaking under the dogs feet. The wonder about what's around the next bend keeps us walking long after we think of turning back. We have walked our Shepherds in the woods nearing 25 years and I never get tired of watching them run, where its safe and open and they can be free to return to what their instincts tell them they once were.
