Nature is the most precious gift there is that is so readily available for the masses to enjoy. It brings such peace and a feeling of freedom. Looking at the flowers, the trees, water and the fresh air can rejuvenate a tired soul.
You drive along a beautiful winding road marveling at the true unaffected beauty. You turn off at a little inlet surrounded by aspens and pines, smelling so sweetly of forever. The car door opens and your feet touch the rocky ground. A path compels you and you set off with your camera and water armed to take in and capture, for only a second that lasts a lifetime the magic of the forest. Up the gentle curves and slightly sloping soft dirt you go. Careful to not disturb anything. Water is running ahead of you and you come to a swiftly moving stream, a bridge and across a bench made from a fallen tree. Rest. Take in the cacophony of sounds, smells, sights. The thought that there is nothing quite so beautiful as this moment enters your mind. Fills your heart. Soothes your soul. Your rest is over and on you move up towards the crystal sky. Every so often you pause for an impromptu photo shoot with natures bounty. Flowers in a stunning yellow. Butterflies in an amazing lilac. Fallen trees of grey. And still on you move. Again you hear the sounds of water. Crashing this time. Followed by a trickle. Then you see it. Ahead is a beautiful waterfall, cascading through the rough jagged rocks down to smoothed out stones and trees covered in rich silky moss. The day is perfect. The slight breeze on your hot skin. The spray of the mist touching your face. It is a riotous feast for your senses. And at last, your soul is at peace.
