I've probably hiked hundreds of miles in the past few years. Most of them were with my hiking buddy and best friend Bill.
He showed me dozens and dozens of the most beautiful places to explore and in the process learned to see and appreciate the tiny forest
flowers that I love. He was soon spotting
flowers and fungi that I overlooked and making sure I got a picture or two before we left the spot.
Most of the lakes, rivers, critters and forest wildflowers that you've enjoyed as desktop wallpaper were found on those hikes.....
Today, Bill left this world to explore a new trail to somewhere else......
I will always miss him very much!
Good bye my friend...
