The River

Since Christmas, I have been spending more time at the river. I live on the side of a mountain, and there is an incredibly gorgeous natural river that runs next to our house. It's so peaceful there. The sound of the river is amazing, it smells so clean and fresh, and it's just unbelievably beautiful. I brought my iPod there the first time I went, but didn't even turn it on because I didn't want to drown out the sound of the moving water. I went rock hopping probably a half mile up (it's enormous, I have no idea how far it goes) and I have spent time writing and reading there. I constantly have to remind myself how lucky I am to live somewhere like this. The pictures are of the river and the only street in my neighborhood. More to come.
