Our thanks to Lisa Dawsey Smith for these beautiful photos. She writes, “Photos are from this morning (Oct. 11) along Starin Road. Although it does feel a bit odd to still see earthworms about this time of year….I have always wondered why there wasn’t more traffic on that particularly wide path along Starin Road especially since it affords such lovely views.”
