After a lovely visit with a friend at a local yarn store, I decided to swing by Splitrock Loop trail. My goal was not to hike the entire trail but to get more photos of the birches from the last hike

Birches

I tried so many different angles of the trees and settled on this one. I love the play of light and shadow in the image. 

Three Rocks

I walked a little further down the trail to where the trail splits for the loop section. Here I found this grouping of rocks, with the branches of a tree reaching down from above.

My main goal of this extra short walk was to get an interesting shot of the birches, and I’m really happy with what I’ve come away with.
