Out for a Walk

Hiking Trail - Claytor Lake State Park

A vigorous five-mile walk will do more good for an unhappy but otherwise healthy adult than all the medicine and psychology in the world. 

 ~ Paul Dudley White

 Nature truly is the best medicine!!

Patterns in Nature

With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.

Wilderness is a Necessity

A bench along a trail during on of our hikes.  There were
many of these benches spread out along the trail...which was QUITE ROCKY.
It is lovely being outside and enjoying nature!

On our left was Stony Creek...and there were LOTS of rocks in it too.

What a wonderful day!

Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity…
