Hiking in the High Country

Don't you love the feeling when spring is on its way, the air is warming up, birds are singing, flowers start blooming and the sun actually warms you again? Ahhh :)

Mom and I went hiking in the high county yesterday. The sun actually showed its face after being absent for longer than acceptable, nice to feel it has regained some power though. It felt good and warm to have the sun shining on us again and the weather and scenery couldn’t have been much better J The trail was not crowded at all, met an older couple on our way up, that’s it! Very peaceful except for mom chattering behind me, doing her best to keep up and keep talking at the same time J 

On our way we heard birds singing their song of spring. The singing birds combined with the sound of running water here and there and the wind made for perfect, relaxing background music. Other than that (and mom’s occasional babbling) there was complete silence. Not a whisper of a sound :) Ahhh...        

The beauty
