Serene Nature Part 1

When I was in Lake Tahoe CA visiting family they live a stone's throw from conservancy land. We packed a small lunch, waters and hiked on down to the river. You go through meadows seeing mountain views in every direction. When down at the river some parts shallow enough to walk across other parts deeper where beavers have made a dam or where there are swimming holes to enjoy. The beauty of the surroundings are filled with contradiction, beauty and decay.
The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man. ~Author Unknown
