Mystic Mountains

emerald green peaks

magical moments

After hiking in the rain at a nearby park, my friend Steven and I stopped at this beautiful vista aptly called Artist Point for a wonderful view of cascading mountains, river, and valley below. We were treated with this magical view of mist and clouds hovering all over the region. I sure am glad we took the long way home! It was the perfect cap to a day filled with gratitude. I really enjoyed the day, even hiking in the rain, getting wet, slowing down, and enjoying the moment.
To stand there and admire that view has to be magical. I culd write there for hours.
Have a great day my friend. Hope it brings you light, love, and inspiration.
