I went out for a short hike yesterday, to find a new preserve that had opened up nearby. Most of the trails are currently under construction and not open for public use, and consequently there really wasn’t much to see. However there was one spot…. a boardwalk that opened into to the lake, which was surrounded by a spread of dense water lilies, quietly floating in the late afternoon sun. It was really quite a sight. As I looked at the lily pads and the glistening reflections on the water, I thought what a silent, peaceful sanctuary that I have stumbled upon. ~Rita
