The road to Prosperity

Underneath the crisp clouds of a late winter sky, my spirit was beckoning for outdoors activities. I take a journey on the Palmetto Trail. Needless to say I have lived in this area for quite some time. Even though I desired to, I have never gone on this trail before.

This particular morning, my sweetie and I decided to take this journey together.

Assured that we were well prepared with walking gear and outfits suitable for the weather and trail, we started our walk.

Not sure what to anticipate, we wanted to make it fun and exciting. We both enjoy body condition training, hiking, and mountain climbing. However, this road to Prosperity was something exciting.

Leaving the beauty of our property and entering the trail we observed the transforming terrain. Beautiful ponds with light soft fog against the fresh trimmed edges and dark mirror glare underneath.

Exotic views of trees, weather beaten by the years into silhouettes and profiles that enliven the imagination. Rock formations dipping to deep valleys made by the gentle strokes of rain and wind.

We stopped and took pictures of endless beauty of many shapes and sizes. We saw trees forming many shapes of the human body. We saw the head tree, hair tree, eyes, ears, nose, lips, arms, hands, legs, and butt. It seems like all nature came to witness this special day. We saw deer drinking from the streams and assorted birds nesting in the trees. A sparrow’s nest extended an invitation to take pictures to capture its uniqueness and stop in for a visit.

I know it’s a little injection, since we do not understand their language. We are at one with all nature. As exciting and entertaining as the journey was, hours later our bodies started a conversation and our legs, hips and lower back began to shout -time to stop. So we turned around and went home.

A few days later, spring was in the air. The weather was set for a good nature walk on the road to Prosperity.

💚

This early spring morning displayed the epitome of nature’s romance and intimacy. With the smell of honeysuckle in the air, we wandered along a trail rich with a luxurious display of honeysuckle blossoms, a reminder of the matchless beauty
