Nature

This past Saturday, D. Tom, Candi, Jeffery and I went to Ohiopyle and did some hiking and relaxing in nature. Which was much needed for both D. and I, and most likely Tom, but he didn't rant as much as we did. The crisp air and simply the chance to be in nature was so invigorating and relaxing. It was the best. Granted my legs hurt from taking the "scenic route" but it was totally worth it.

I did get to get some nice pictures, though I ran outta film, just when we got to the gorgeous stuff. At Cucumber Falls, I have a nice picture of Tom laying on the rocks looking down at the falls, and a couple shots of the trees and stream at Meadow Run trail. It was just so gorgeous. Though sitting on the rock in the middle of October, wasn't as fun, but it was all worthwhile.

Emerson once said that being in nature brings you closer to God, and I think he was on to something. There was a sense of peace and tranwuility that only God could provide. Not to mention that Psalm 19 says that nature is the proof of God's existance. Thoreau wanted people to open their eyes and see nature for it's beauty and let it teach us things....Maybe Thoreau was on to something living at Walden Pond for two years.

Til next time my friends. Happy thoughts and hugs.
