The maples and oaks that are scattered about […]
I spent most of my Sunday exploring Centennial Woods, as I have a personal bias. I entered into the woods at around noon, planning to spend the rest of the day there. I really enjoy my time in there because I can really spend my time these days focusing on the smaller changes in the […]
