I went on a date this afternoon with a man who loves being out in nature as much as I do! His degree is in something nature-related, and he works in the local parks system. As I waited for him to arrive at the park, I was treated to three deer walking by the parking lot:
The sky was so blue today, it almost looked like it could be summer. If only there were leaves on the trees and no snow on the lookout guardrail! (Oh, summer, please get here soon! I am already sick of the cold!)
At least the snow is beautiful:
So gorgeous:
And even more so as the sun began to set:
It was so fun to go out hiking again! It had been a few months since I'd been out, and I've really missed it. I have made it a goal for 2013 to spend more time on the trails. Mr. Nature and I have tentative plans to go out hiking again.
We did see two red-tailed hawks circling and then swooping near us, which was fun. He's more into plants than birds, but I told him that birds are much more interesting to watch!
It was so refreshing to have delightful conversation, and to be with someone who pleasantly greeted other hikers we encountered. My new beginning reinforces all that I'd been missing out on this past decade!
