HSNP Hot Springs Mt Trail Carolina Chickadee
Anyone who hikes regularly in the Forests of the southeastern United States knows the distinctive song of the Carolina Chickadee. A joyful sound of laughter that makes each hike a joyful experience. This diminutive songbird with a bountiful voice is a favorite solo and in a choir of other voice.

When you Free your Soul to the song of the Forest Nature transforms your Heart. ~ Lee Hiller
It is is difficult to blend into the Forest when you are a flying Zebra. They blend with ease into the bare Tree limbs awaiting the opening of the leaf buds poised on the tips of each branch. As the bare winter Trees are painted in spring leaves their black and white will diminish as the perfect camouflage. The tiny Black and White Warbler is as beautiful to the eyes as it’s song is to all who listen with their Heart.

The winter Forest sleeps and dreams of spring.
~ Lee Hiller
It was day of unforseen moments, the kind of hike where peace could not be found. Nearing the half way point on my hike I had to turn around as the NPS (National Park Service) was on the trail ahead using trail buggys and mini earth mover. I noticed a tank on the back of a trail buggy, not sure what was being sprayed I retuned home on the trails I had already traversed. Distracted by life when I returned home I inadvertantly formatted the wrong camera card wiping out a morning of scenic trail views.
Perhaps a lesson, details hold a better view of Nature in her winter form. Rocks painted yellow by Fungus, red Leaves glowing on the trail edges, dried floral bouquets and tiny songbirds. Although the overall view of the winter Forest can be considered bleak there are hidden treasures in plain sight.
The loss of the images made me realize they present only one aspect of winter in the park. Hot Springs National Park is a combination of subtle details to be savored as individual tiles in the mosaic of the sleeping Forest.
