Half way through the hike, there was a small stream. I considered crossing the stream on rocks. When I put my foot on the first rock, it rocked. With my focus/balance problems I would end up getting my feet wet. Or perhaps just fall in. So I decided to just wade through the ankle deep water.
Along the trail I have the pleasure of noting the trees and bushes. Occasionally I will be startled by a lizard going through dead leaves. First reaction it must be a snake.
A high spot on the trail will mean a view of that man constructed world in the distance.
The beauty of the natural world is there even as nature recycles.
Soon I was back to where I started.
That was great! A hike was needed to get away from a world created by man.
Seems like you're rally enjoying the hikes. Experiencing nature is my main reason for doing it. It brings me peace and refreshes the spirit.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. When I was still working, my relief and respite from the stresses of the job was to escape for a weekend hike to rejuvenate the soul to last another week.
DeleteWhat a lovely place to hike. Getting away from man is always a plus!
ReplyDeleteThat is also why I frequently hike alone so I can fully enjoy the natural world.
