Tranquilty at Trail Wood in June

Trail Wood #119 Earl Plato
It’s early June at Trail Wood. Let’s find out what the Teale’s are doing.
“ Sunshine filters down through the new leaves. It warms the mossy rocks and the woodland meld. We have been sitting ere for some time where the Hampton Brook winds through the Far north Woods among skunk cabbages and hellebore, under overleaping trees, along quiet stretches where the transparent water slides above a sandy bed. Idly we watch he water striders drift or skate across the surface. This is the good time of the year.
These are the Elysian days, the days we dreamed of in January and February and early March. Around us stretch the calm woods and the tranquil hills. The sun shines. The brook flows. The June air is redolent with earth perfumes. We seem in a woodland paradise where all is peace.”
Do you know of such a natural place where you can find tranquility? I hope so.
