Remembering fall colors...

One day this past fall we went for a hike in Whitewater State Park and enjoyed the colors that are evident in God's beautiful creation. We hiked to the top of a bluff and from there we were able to see some beautiful displays of our wonderful land around us. Some of the scenes included a large water crevice created so that the waters that fall on the top of the bluff can apparently flow down to the low-lying areas around.


Another scene is of the gorgious Whitewater valley with the water area below that the campers of CWW swim in and make many memories each year. The scene you see here prablaby looks out at least a good 3 miles to the horizon line.



Later we walked up what seems like the a zillion steps to get to the top of the fire tower bluff, which overlooks the entire Whitewater Valley. Wow did the legs get a workout, but what a view from here too!! This is the little town of Elba, which is right outside the boundries of Whitewater State Park. Looking down the buildings are so small and the trees so short...but oh not so true!!




Then, when we did get to the top, Tony realizes that this is the only place inteh Whitewater Valley that his cell phone will work sooo...

he discovers that YES it does work!!! Only Tony would think of climbing this high and then use his phone at the top, maybe just a bit to brag that we made it to the top!!

So, during this time of snow, snow, and even more snow, that our paths are only set by the shovel or plow, we enjoy the recent past of colors and God's paintbrush and look forward to the Springing up of flowers and the warm days ahead!



God's richest blessings to you!! Take a moment to enjoy God's beauty in your lives as well!!
