celebrating our mother


what better way to celebrate mother's day than by honoring mother earth. 




we took a hike yesterday on lower rip rap trail, making our way to a swimming hole of some repute.



it's been a while since we've gone on a family hike, and it was really pure bliss.



a water song played the entire time as we danced around the rippling stream.


there were a variety of bugs and blossoms, rock walls and fungal outcroppings.





the swimming hole was a beautiful aquamarine, with a gentle waterfall flowing into it.


 i waded around the waters, but it was too cold to dive headlong into the deep center, tempted though i was.


i came out of it feeling better than i have in over two weeks (i've been suffering a horrible malaise). and i was reminded of what really matters. when it all comes down to it, mother earth is queen.

That looks like my kind of place and can certainly understand how just being there could put you in a good frame of mind
