“Enjoying nature”

Hi Strands fans. I've been playing this game long enough to know exactly the kind of puns that the New York Times' puzzle setters enjoy for their spangrams.
As soon as I saw the theme of "Enjoying nature", I just knew the spangram was going to be TAKEAHIKE, and sure enough I saw it spreading from the left-hand side to the top-right corner.
That made the rest of the puzzle - appropriately enough - a walk in the park.
I found WILDLIFE along the bottom of the board, with WOODS above it. Between the two was MARKER. I then connected TRAILHEAD to its left to complete the bottom section of the puzzle.
The top part only contained two words, making it even quicker. I connected PATH on the left, with CANTEEN on the right to complete the puzzle.

Hi Strands fans. As you can see from the score above, I don't have enough of a sweet tooth to know the names of different kinds of cookie!
I had to use two clues to get started. These revealed SPRITZ (which I associate with cocktails, not cookies) and SNAP.
Fortunately, I then saw MACAROON, and realized these must all be cookies. I spotted SNOWBALL in the top-right corner, which created space for the spangram of COOKIEJAR.
All that was left was to connect SNICKERDOODLE in the bottom-right corner to complete the puzzle.
