I felt i was on that amazing walk with you. Your imagery was amazing. So different from what I see daily on my walks. I could feel the peace you obtained from seeing the amazing sights . It just be beautiful where you live. Gretchen

This is an outstanding introspective poem Diane. I loved the walk with you in your beloved northern Michigan. Each line brought fond memories of northwestern Pennsylvania and its similarities to northern Michigan. Excellent pictures to share its beauty and wildlife.
A refreshing and beautiful poem of sweet release.

Beautiful Diane.
Blessings
Janet

This can only be a 6*** I loved the verse and your presentation, but even more than that I loved the walk down memory lane that it invoked. Life is so good. I love the out of doors and, being a birder, I could the Jays and the magpies, as well as the woodpecker's tapping. Thanks for really pleasant read and experience. ann

The poem describes your sole trip through the paths along the Michigan woods and lakes adorned in arrays of nature. You paint this scene with beauty and mastery. I enjoyed every line of the poem with photos that speak to the eyes. Well done, dear Diane.

    Autumn has been so very glorious here in northern Michigan this year. The colors are at their peak this week, and soon, snow will be falling, but even that contains its own special beauty.
    Much appreciation!

You took me on a lovely journey into "the wide pathways" of Nature. The scenes are descriptive and memorable, inhabited by adorable animals. Sincerity is in the way you handle the subject matter which you know and love very well. i like the spiritual aspect of the poem. Shades of Wordsworth here.
