Today was one of those days in which I needed to be in touch with my higher spirit, Nature. With my usual spontaneity I drove to the nearest National Park “Big Basin”, which is about a half hour from the house. I love redwood forests and I wanted to grab pictures of the waterfalls. As I was driving up the winding road, the fog became denser and upon arriving, I realized that that it was the smoke of a fire nearby. They had set a prescribed fire and to my disappointment I couldn’t get to the waterfall. It was cold and crisp and I was glad that I had a sweater on and a beanie on my head. An hour later I was peeling some of my clothes off as the hike had warmed my whole body.
I have come upon many animals during my treks, but seeing a mountain lion was a first. I became alarmed as there have been attacks before in other areas and started to turn back slowly. Thankfully it appeared that he was more afraid of me than I was of him. I think… LOL. I never felt my heart beating so fast and then it hit me that I didn’t take a picture. Well sometimes it is just not worth it.
The highlight of my day was a field of the most gorgeous horses I had ever seen. I had to turn around to go take pictures of them as I would have regretted it if I didn’t. As I started shooting, the most beautiful mare with the lightest blue eyes approached me and wanted me to pet her. I was so elated and humbled by such beauty. The more I petted her the more she wanted the affection. It lasted until another approached and they all left together so gracefully. So much beauty, there is so much beauty in the world.
