Roaring Brook Lane is a couple of minutes away from the house. A dirt track goes down the left side of a stream (Roaring Brook?), over a small wooden bridge and ends up at a wooden dock. The Boy Scouts have done a great job renovating the path, building a new bridge and adding a seating area with picnic table. I usually just walk down to the dock and back and have never explored the right side of the stream so I decided to take a look. There are lots of interesting tree roots. They roots were in shade and were pretty much monochromatic so I thought black and white would work well. I love the shapes and the textures.
