A puzzle

Snowy path - Iroquois Park

John Muir wrote of the outdoors and the land under the sky.  In his writing he said it is "familiar."  And it is familiar.  When we enter the outdoors we go into a big room that we find familiar.  Though there all sorts of creatures that we don't know about we sense the familiar in our journey into the outdoors.  The scents to come to us mostly appeal to us.  It is a puzzle how the outdoors is full of unknowns and is familiar.  And it is familiar.
