Design and Nature, OK I Really Just Want to Show You My Vacay Pics!

Warning:  

This post is filled with beautiful nature 

photos that have nothing to do 

with design, or do they?  

I think Frank Lloyd Wright 

would agree with me.  

But, if you don't enjoy nature pics 

then this post will not appeal to you in the least.  

It is always great to take a break 

from the everyday and enjoy some downtime.  

That's what vacations are for right?  

To recharge and get a new perspective!  

And what better way 

to do that then enjoy nature 

on a fantastic hike.  

We took a fun hike today 

on the Lily Pad Hiking 

trail in Summit County, Colorado.  

It was about five miles 

total which is just about right for me.  

There were lots of beautiful ponds 

and streams along the way.  

My photos don't truly capture 

how lovely it really was.  

This peaceful pond was hidden by trees and bushes. 

A small stream flowing into it.  

I love the sound of a running stream.

How serene is this?

We crossed bridges 

with more streams running under them. 

How perfect is nature?

I don't think I could ever get tired of hiking.

We spotted Mr. Beaver on some rocks.  

And we finally came upon the Lily Pond.  

Seeing this makes it totally worth the hike!

Mr. Beaux and I posing in front of the pond.  

Right beyond the pond 

was another secluded lake.  

Mr. Beaux took this photo of a Bald Eagle.  

He was hanging out in the trees 

and some cute little dogs barked 

at him and he showed off for us 

by circling a few times around the lake.

 We headed back on the trail. 

But not before I took a few more 

shots of the gorgeous lily pads.  

Until Next Time,
