Nature's Reassuring Beauty

Spending time alone walking a trail without a device or time constraint has 

  long been among one's favorite pastimes.  The calling of a distant bird, the  

 scamper of a squirrel and the soft touch of a gentle breeze pleasantly draw one's 

 attention and clear the mind of its murky clutter.

One is reassured that the world has not been upended when life in the wild 

 is seen today as it has been for centuries.  Waterfowl beautifully navigate

 a channel.  A turtle basks in the midday sun.  A squirrel is unfazed by a

 passing stranger and a young alligator seems to smile as it thinks of lunch.

One's spirit is refreshed while walking a trail enveloped in nature's beauty and calmness.
