Hi everyone. Happy almost weekend to you.
I'm here today for Nicole's Friday Face Off and Gillena's Friday Lunch Break.
In this post I have some photos to share from a late November walk I took last Thursday at the Urban Forestry Center in Portsmouth, NH. It's a very convenient place to walk after I get my allergy shots, especially since the tides at the beach haven't seemed to work in my favor lately.
Even though it was just noontime, the position of the sun really made some fantastic shadows.
This small patch with some dead but still standing pine trees captured my attention because the wood seemed so white. This first view had some interesting grooves (I'm guessing from some type of insect).
This next photo is a favorite. I think the composition, light and muted colors all work together. And you can see what I mean by the white wood of the bark-less pine tree.
These berries seemed so red.
And these apples in their various states of decay were interesting.
For these next 3 photos, I played around using the vignette feature on my laptop. They were half in the shadow anyhow.
And to wrap up this post, I took a selfie of myself. This is for Friday Face Off where I need to show a face,
That's it for me this week. Have a great start to your weekend.

...last night I went to bed with a bit of snow on the ground, this morning it has disappeared. Global warming? The deer no doubt love those fallen apples. Erika, take care and stay warm and well.
So beautiful
Lovely photos -- and a great selfie!
Thank you Erika for sharing your wonderful photos including Yourself !
We have now a beautiful white cover over earth. I hope it is still at Christmas time.
Happy weekend to you xx
Such a beautiful day and face :-))
What happened to the pine trees? That does look like a nice place for a walk. Such interesting nature sights.
A great and also interesting series and a great parting shot :-)
It snowed all day here but now +1C, reckon it´s all gone tomorrow.
News of your bees or will it be a surprise next season?
Either way, have a great weekend and hugs

Lovely photo of you Erika! Nice fall photos too.
Such beautiful photos Erika! Enjoy your weekend too :) Vicky x
These are beautiful photos, Erika. It looks like a very lovely walk. In the second image I especially like all the roots I can see there. Very beautiful. Have a lovely weekend.
A great walk in the woods. So much to see, so much beauty for the dedicated observer, and the back stories are fascinating beyond belief. A simple walk in a the woods is better than all the shopping malls in all the world! All the best - David
Oh, those berries! Glorious. And yes, I love the one of the trees you mentioned. And the selfie too! What a great walk!
