The day was set aside for a hike with a friend. Not just any hike. This day called for Roxborough Park, an absolute gem of a Colorado State Park. We were ready to be out on the trail after our recent snowstorm. To hike, converse, and hear the calls of nature’s dwellers and marvel at God's handiwork are gifts for the soul. There is something about the contrast of snow, vivid greens of new leaves and grass and bluebird blue skies that is just so beautiful. This was my first visit to this wonderful park and I was extremely thankful.

In this image we were on the last leg of a hike and this part of the trail was certainly sloppy with mud.This felt really good and almost childlike. We weren’t concerned with getting our boots clean; we just were enjoying the trail and the scenery. The now of this beautiful day of scenery and conversation demanded full attention.
