Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening
Walking is the theme for Photo Hunter and the first thing that came to mind was Robert Frost’s poem: “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”
In another PH entry is a photo of my two younger children and my husband walking hand-in-hand.
Below is a B & W photo of a wooded area that we love to go to:
I know there is no snow here but I think this is a fitting photo for my interpretation of the poem considering my geographical location 😉
This is one of our family’s favorite Sunday destination where we can go walking in the woods and biking and even have picnic lunch on a mat.
I also used Robert Frost’s “The Road not Taken” in another PH post about roads.
photohuntBelow is Robert Frost’s poem:
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
[…] My other entry for walking is here. […]
I think it’s just me but I don’t see your hubs and kids walking.
This looks like a good place to walk, or even picnic under one of those trees. Is this in MM?
Sunken Garden? Happy weekend, Julie!
