I know the nice warm days of Autumn are soon to be gone but today I took full advantage of the gorgeous sunny day to grab my camera and head out for a hike. The sites, sounds and smells of the woods awakened my senses to the beauty all around. The wind whistled in the trees. The leaves swirled all around and there was the pungent aroma of dry leaves and the musky scent of the forest. I heard the scampering and twittering of squirrels and birds as they rummaged through the underbrush and on two occasions, there was a quick snort and the hoof beat of deer as they startled and ran for cover deeper into the woods and away from the trail. They left me scrambling to ready my camera only to have them disappear completely from sight before I even had it powered on.
The trees shown here show the result of some of the damage from a tornado that ripped through the battlefield a few years ago. There was a lot of damage to trees throughout the park as well as many homes on the path the tornado cut through the city of Murfreesboro.
