Go Take a Hike

 So, we bought a home in Providence Canyon.  It's beautiful.  Not only that, there are beautiful places to spend time.  I went on a 4 mile hike all by myself without having to drive anywhere.  Just walked out the back door.  I loved it.  Here are some photos I took: 

The view from up here is amazing.

I thought I'd spend all my time looking up at the mountain, but then I realized there were small beauties all around me.  Isn't that how life is?  You work and work for the big, but the small is even more breath-taking?

After I took his photo a few times, he followed me.  I'm guessing that, like my children, he wanted to see the photo.

So bright!

The trail ahead of me.  The fence is supposed to keep deer from coming down into our yard.  Ha ha.  Doesn't work.  That's OK, though.

Higher up I could see more of the valley below.

"Give," said the little stream...

This fella was sipping water out of the paw prints that had filled during a rainstorm.  So majestic.
