Places
Recurring landscapes
A working index of the settings that return in the notes. Names stay broad on purpose: these are editorial records, not mapped destinations.
Ridge paths
Open ground where wind, grass, and distant weather are easier to read. The ridge returns most often at the edges of winter and spring.
Creek bends
Shaded turns where water changes the color of stone and the sound of the path. Rain makes these small places feel newly arranged.
Old roads
Broad, faint tracks with worn banks and a steadier width than the surrounding footpaths. Their earlier use remains visible without needing a larger story.
Stone markers
Walls, loose lines, and small stacks that hold warmth, divide older ground, or simply make a repeated walk recognizable.
Lower meadows
Open edges that hold evening light and show seasonal change quickly. Paths are clearer here after rain and less certain in high summer grass.
Woodland turns
Short shaded bends where leaves, frost, and water change the pace of a walk. These places are noticed more through sound than view.
