Lakeside Trail

A trail wanders along the sandy shoreline of northern Wisconsin lake.


 
I paused to take this photo of a hiking trail winding through Red Pines along a northern Wisconsin Lake.  There is very little underbrush, and roots sticking out of the dirt to trip you up on this short section of the trail, but it gives you a false sense of security.  A stump right in the middle will take you down and give you an unexpected close look at the pine needles and sandy soil.  The stump has never brought me to my knees, but has made me stumble forward over the years.  Always be on the lookout for such things while carrying a heavy load of camera equipment, or your eight month-old baby.
