My morning walk was a symphony for the senses today - walked a DNR trail between two lakes and say dozens of varieties of wildflowers, a little wildlife and other early-bird walkers. I heard the birds, squirrels, frogs, cicadas, water rushing over rocks between lakes, even a loon. And the smells - flowers, pine trees, the water, even the somewhat funky smell of the mud at water's edge.
I came "home" with a great sense of peace and well-being. This little trip "to the lake" is indeed a blessing.

I just read another of your posts and see that you ARE in Northern MN. I'm in Duluth 1-1/2 blocks from Chester Creek. I need to remember my mask since the trails along there are very popular.
@sueinmn Sue ,Hi one of my favorite mentors. You went on a wonderful walk. I know San Diego doesn't have all those things, but walking my dog on the bluffs above the ocean and walking on the sand by the ocean. It was so relaxing. I miss the sound of the ocean. We only lived 5 miles from the ocean. We were only there for 5 years and then back to Seattle for 5 more, then home to Iowa. It does have it's own beauty, you just have to look for it. Our back yard is like a forest we have so many trees we planted. During the summer can't see any of our neighbors and since we face west we have a tree to shade the deck in the afternoon. Oh you lucky girl. You did a wonderful picture. Jeanie

Last evening I went to walk along the creek in the woods to do some "forest bathing" and my walk sounds very much like yours. Are you in Northern MN? I am. I used to live in the Rockies and that creek, when it's full after several downpours, can match any creek I've seen in the mountains. Fortunately, the RA doesn't keep me from such walks.
