A Dawn at Trail Wood

Trail Wood #88 Earl Plato

We parked our car in the ample parking lot below the white cottage of the Teales.
It was mid-morning on Canada Day, July 1st, 3007. We walked the path to he house to meet our guide, Vern Pursley.
The setting for this in Teale’s log is April 20th one early morning at Trail Wood.
“ In the light drawn across the landscape the rays of the rising sun grow stronger. They cross the valley of Little River, probe among he bare treetops above Hampton Brook, run along the ridgepole of our white cottage under the sheltering hickory trees and speed on to highlight the flank of he steep ridge to the west. I suppose like other dawns coming to other clear April skies but to me it has a special quality of its own, a special beginning-of-the-world freshness and beauty.”
Enjoy spring mornings this year of 2009. Get up really early some day and watch dawn unfold..
