In honor of our third wedding anniversary this past Wednesday (yay!), my husband and I will be taking a short trip to the Delaware shore next week.

But, on anniversary day, I was working at my part-time job and he had to work in the late evening here at the paper, so we contented ourselves with a smaller excursion - a picnic lunch a la Subway and a hike around the lake at Pinchot Park.

It was a bit cold - and we got rained on a bit during the last third of our two-mile-or-so walk - but I did get one neat picture on my cameraphone... of a tree, carved up like crazy, with lots of other couples' initials. I'm a little too tree-friendly to have added to it, but I did think a photo was an appropriate anniversary commemorative!

(If you like this, you should check out our Carving Tree project that assistant features editor Sue Haller did a couple of years ago. It's an even more detailed look at one tree's graffiti.)
