Beautiful imagery. I love where this takes us. Days like these make life worth living. Who needs sunsets? :)

One thing, in the second paragraph I think you mean ‘tapers’ not ‘tampers’ – I’m sure that’s not a word

tampers is a word, but you did mean tapers. :) you fixed it, and gave us insight into the mind of this character, but there is no background, nor emotion. The scene is vivid, the burrs a nice detail thrown in, as well as the jacket, but other than a oneness with nature, you’ve got a lot of setting.
