Walk and Click Wednesdays ~ February 13, 2013

I like to wander.

I have a very strong irresistible urge to travel.

It does not matter whether it be near or far.

I only need a place to meander and explore.

I like my feet to tread where they've never gone before.

One step at a time at my own pace.

 

 

My wandering led me to Lake Catherine State Park.

Yesterday's post tells of a bad photography experience I had.

Today's post tells a much better story.

I followed a trail in search of a waterfall.

I heard the sounds of nature,

the rushing creek

the crunch of leaves beneath my feet,

and the birds singing.

 

 

As I wandered I saw spots of bright color

against the stark winter browns.

 

As I wandered I discovered small things

and enormous things.

 

 

 

As I wandered I felt childlike excitement

as my steps took me across a swinging bridge

that swayed and bounced.

 

 

As I wandered I became tired.

I sat on a bench looking out over the lake.

I soaked in the quiet,

the peace,

the beauty.

 

 

As I wandered my heart sped up with delight

when I stepped onto a huge rock ledge and

saw water flowing over the edge to the pool below.

 

 

As I wandered I praised God

for the spectacular beauty

of his magnificent creation.

 

 

I enjoyed sharing my wanderings with you.
