Surrounded by Beauty
Lately I've been noticing how beautiful it is around here... despite having lived here for most of my life, home is gorgeous. I think I'll be a country girl for life.
The other night, we had such a beautiful sunset.
And then, yesterday afternoon, I went for a walk in some of my family's fields. The sun looking over the rows of corn was begging to have its picture taken.
I walked down to a creek that runs through the fields, one of my favorite walking destinations - even though I have to climb a steep hill to get back home.
This afternoon, I went for a walk in the woods. This little swampy area was my "palace," when I was little; I liked to pretend that I was an Indian princess, and this was my domain. One of my favorite royal activities was bouncing on the tire, trying not to fall into whatever water was around... or, if I was feeling daring, I would walk across one of the trees that bridged the "islands."
Seeing the sun shine through the trees is one of my favorite things. I think I like taking pictures straight into the sun because it lets me see a glimpse of the glorious sun, without ruining my eyes.
Every time I go for a walk, I'm reminded that no matter how hard we try, nothing we can make compares in the beauty that's already around us.
