As previously related, the other day I went for a wondrous morning wander. The first part was like Middle Earth. Once I emerged from those woods and marshes, however, I found myself in . . . well, that’s the thing . . . I didn’t seem to be exactly anywhere.

The mist hovering over the water was so dense, it cast an otherworldly veil over all surrounding.

It’s a strange feeling, half lovely and half terrifying, to feel like you might as well be standing on the brink of nothingness.

But of course this determined adventurer wasn’t about to be daunted by a little misty mystery.

On I went, to further adventures. Stay tuned! =]

One morning last week I decided to go on an adventure. No one would go with me, so at 7:15 on that frosty morning I set off all by my lonesome, with camera in tow, up the path by the river.

And it was incredible.

I found Middle Earth, guys.

Seriously!

I walked along, thinking this must be what it would look like . . .

and then I realized Oh my. Wait. Tolkien lived here!

This could actually be what it was meant to look like!!

I quickly decided “I’m going to do a blog post about this!” . . . and then as it kept being beautiful and I kept photographing, I realized “I’m going to do several blog posts about this!” =]

So there’s part one. Tune in next time for part 2: the edge of the world.
