Spencer Creek Hike

We took a drive to Spencer Creek the other day, which is about 15 miles from our house. It's up in the mountains and as we arrived the sun began to peek out of the overcast skies. As the ground warmed the fragrance of the fresh spring water and saturated fertile ground filled the air. Flowing water cascaded over my heart as it did over the moss covered rocks. I was alive with joy in this beautiful place and peace enveloped me.

The dogs and I walked up the creek, climbing over lichen and moss covered logs and stepped cautiously on the rocks carpeted thickly in green. The water was clear and the colorful rocks in the creeks path glinted in sun. It was a glorious time!
