solitude

Never miss an opportunity to make others happy, even if you have to leave them alone in order to do it. ~author unknown

There are moments when I just need some solitude.  Of course, basking in the warmth of the sun doesn't hurt my outlook any.

Solitude in Nature

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. ~John Muir

We'll be up north without internet the next two nights so I'll have to post those nights when we get back, but I'm taking my computer anyway to keep up my habit. :0)

A carpet of color

As we drove away from our white water rafting, we noticed a hill covered in flowers and since there was also a dirt road up leading up the hill we went closer for a peek.

This stop was not planned, it was purely spur of the moment.  Do you allow yourself to get distracted like that?

A sea of flowers holding hands making a colorful carpet.

A blanket of comfort!

Have you ever seen a cemetery literally covered in flowers?  We had not.  I would love to have a final resting place like this one.  Unexpected beauty on a hill amongst miles of green.

So magical and peaceful!

The flowers stuck out their tongues as I caressed them into poses.

Even that little patch of green you see, if you stepped closer you would find flowers beneath the tall grasses.

(Looking down towards the main the road.)

There were also lilacs and azalea.  It's truly like God smiled on the place.

Wild phlox?  So tiny, so delicate, yet so many the air was filled with fragrance.

This fabulous place of solitude commanded our attention and we’re so glad we stopped for a closer look.
