The echo bounces around the walls until the sound finally fades away. I sit down on the cool hardwood floor. As I lace up my basketball shoes, I notice the details of the floor. Small stones and dirt have been driven into the wood panels. Scuff marks were left from shoes in black, red, and white. A few dents and engravings are displayed proudly, like an old soldier showing off his battle scars. The paint on the floor is fading, its shiny luster long gone. Details like these

shadows. I turn to the father who lights a pipe, “How long has this been going on?” I ask. “This has been happening for many years now, for as long as few of us remember. My great grandfather would tell me stories of my father getting out to the woods. Back then the nightingale’s song wasn’t as strong.” “Why has no one done anything to stop this? Has anyone tried to kill it? Have you asked any of

wider world is a multifaceted component, manipulated to be found in all aspects of life. Composers such as Robert Frost and David Wilkie incorporate these notions into their literary works. Robert Frost dexterously composed the poems Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening and Mending Wall to reflect the ambiguous nature of man’s interpretive expeditions. Similarly, David Wilkie adapts Titan’s 16th century ‘Supper at Emmaus’ to his 19th Century painting Christopher Columbus at the convent of la Rabida

I have named this place whisper, as it sits in the woods and when the wind passes through the cracks, it whispers to the trees. There is only one room here, and a small working fireplace. Samuel my longtime friend and I were stuck here when the snow fell last winter, and that is when we figured the fireplace

These chasing and angling groups relied on upon the woodland for kindling, building materials, honey, restorative plants and bramble meat.

It was heavily covered in trees and brush — a place where all of God’s handiwork was still in its original state. They cleared away just enough land for a house and a small yard; the rest belonged to the wild

The U.S. Lumber Industry is one of the largest industries in the U.S., employing more than 1.4 million people and producing products valued at more than $200 billion every year according to the USDA (2004).

In many areas, old techniques and methods are being discarded and researchers

were never bothered to be picked up. Walking into the woods, holding his gun with an old torn red flannel tee on, Jason has doubts that this might be his last season. Charlie was already climbing down the hillside, straying off the trails, and hoping of making the first kill to prove his worthiness to his owner. Jason calls back to Charlie, “Come ‘mere ol’ boy, don’t start without me!” and they begin their way quietly trudging through the dense woods to their special spot. They continue down the beaten
