Am I a sunshine hiker or do I like walking on wet, windy, rainy days to observe the landscape as water trickles down tree trunks, across roots and leaves and into ditches on the way to an aquifer or creek?

Either one, the latter as long as I can get back to the starting point without worrying about flooding.

So, today I look at a map of areas to go hiking tomorrow when it’s raining.

Or wait until Thursday after the line of thunderstorms has passed through north Alabama.

Either one will work out fine, I’m sure.

A little early for spring flowers but not too late.

Looking forward to seeing places I’ve hiked when the landscape was dry.

Happy to meditate almost anywhere I feel free.
