Oakwoods Metropark

















Walking in the woods yesterday, it was so quiet that I had to stop and listen. Then I heard the unmistakable soft hum of the traffic on 275 and the drone of the jet engines as planes took off, one after another, from Detroit Metro. The jays were squawking and the red-bellies and flickers were also raising a ruckus. So, it wasn't as quiet as I first thought. It's funny how you tune out the every day sounds. I really was hoping to hear some bird song and considered all the rest of it as unimportant. Enjoyed my walk, however. Loved the play of the sun on the bare woods and the shadows cast by the trees.
