Welcome to The Woods!
Welcome
to this scrapbook of The Woods. This project is designed to carry
on
the memory of a small area of woods near my old house in Greensboro,
NC. Over the years, most of these woods have been torn down to
make room for a business park, a movie theatre, and even a seafood
restaurant. Some of them are still there though, visible to
your right traveling along I-40 eastbound just past the Wendover
Avenue exit. Although of no real significance, these woods will
always be important to me as they bring back memories of a time long
past where they seemed like a refuge from the rest of life. The
Woods
to me were a quiet place to spend time in prayer and escape the fast
pace of life. When I was younger, they felt like a world unto
themselves.
There were more adventures had in those woods when I was a kid than
anyone will likely
ever know. After moving away years ago, I stumbled upon quite a
large number of pictures and decided that I would try to find a good
way to share some of the memories of my woods. Who knows, maybe
some of my old friends will find this page one day and get a kick out
of looking through some of the places where we hiked and had forts and
played in the creek. We made a lot of memories down there, and I
would
give anything to go back and re-live even just one single afternoon
with things back the way they used to be. Even though life is
always
moving forward, it never hurts to take an occasional look back and
enjoy the wonderful memories that God has given you...
