Tracks in the Snow
By Sarah Galbraith-
Times Argus Correspondent
A few days ago, I was lucky enough to be walking in the woods after a freshly-fallen snow. It was the morning time, and powdery flakes were falling from the trees every time the breeze blew; the snowflakes were sparkling in the sunlight and behind them, the sky was a bold blue.

“I appreciated how David broke things down in a way that made it feel approachable and comfortable. There was plenty of supporting material outside of class days that gave me a chance to practice what I learned and to trust my instincts. By the end, I felt more confident noticing signs I wouldn't have understood before. It made me want to keep building my skills! Highly recommend for anyone just starting out or refreshing their skills!”
