Papa and I hiked from our house, up the hill and down into Rattlesnake Canyon. There were many potholes of water, flocks of birds hanging in the canyon, a bit of ice in shady spots, beautiful evergreen trees, brightly colored rocks covered with lichen and moss, grasses waiting for cattle to feed, all while the sky was gathering more and more dark clouds. We had an invigorating hike and were inspired by nature and the views around us.
