Ghostly Hollow: Scene IV (Winter Friends)

Ghostly Hollow: Scene IV (Winter Friends)

As the sun slowly descends I decide to take a short rest underneath a canopy of trees bent over at the waist like elderly people, only without their canes. Out of nowhere a brown cub bear slowly takes it's place at my feet. Startled at first, with reason, I soon grow fonder and more relaxed with my new friend, then just as surprising, a small white fox sets down beside me and Mr. bear.

Quietly we three set and take rest beside one another, looking like we've been friends for years. Breaking the silence, a red robin lands on a near branch and starts to serenade us. What magical and enchanting powers I have been witness to, not knowing what to expect next.

Ghostly Hollow: Scene III (Mysteries Found)

Cautiously I venture on, further through the woods still amazed by the white covered wonderland. I happen upon a clearing, suddenly I sense I'm not alone, ahead I can see two denizens of the woods, a lonely goat cautiously drinking from a nearly frozen stream and a red fox carefully eyeing the goat, surely for preservation for itself and family somewhere near.

Slowly my eyes turn to a pile of rocks near the stream and follow upward the wooden cross poking itself tilted slightly towards the sky. What mysteries do we have here?
What, or should I say, who lies within the pile of rocks, more importantly, as with the scarecrow earlier, who put them here and why? Seems my snowscaped venture has brought a few mysteries upon me, making me wonder what lies ahead.

Ghostly Hollow: Scene II (The Journey Furthers)

Amidst the snow covered woods, I feel like a miniscule red particle navigating my way deeper into the woods. As I approach a thicket of fallen trees, a solitary figure comes into view. Cautiously I approach, noticing the figure never moves. Upon nearing, I can see it's a scarecrow. What in the world is a scarecrow doing in such a place? There's no sign of crops from previous seasons. More importantly, who put it here, and why?

Ghostly Hollows: Scene I ( The Journey Begins)

The gift of winter has come upon Ghostly Hollow, early. Falling like a blanket of white, gloriously draped across the vast countryside that awaits outside, casting aside the time worn traditional clock of the winter solstice.

The longer I set and view winters beauty, the more I feel compelled to venture outside and hopefully discover some enchanting inhabitants along the way. Cloaked warmly in red, I take leave and find myself engulfed in a world of white while heading towards the woods.

Taken from a set I've created and have posted on Flickr, a continuation shall follow.
The story behind the story is, I was recently rummaging through some old winter shots I've taken over the years and thought about how I could use them, and so the story came to mind, proof that "you can teach an old dog new tricks."
