Oh the beauty of it......

Me..In the river again....If you don't know the water this time of year is cold....Its cold all year but this time of year frigid comes to mind...I can not tell you how many times I question my sanity...I am usually thigh deep in the water when it hits me...What the #3!! are you doing!? I mean why are you out here freezing your rear? Getting all dirty? Traipsing through the woods alone like some mad woman with no clue...
Then I look up and it hits me.. Its almost painful to look at...My heart catches in my throat and threatens to choke me, and I know I am blessed...To see what I see..My camera can not even show you...I get home look at my pictures and I am disappointed it can not capture enough of the beauty in what I see...
I catch myself getting all teary eyed this time of year...Well OK most times of year but this time of year when nature puts on her show and paints the world in the most vivid colors I drive around like some love sick fool...I swear one of these days I am going to forget I am driving and wind up in the ditch...She captures me, drags me in, calls me...I can not leave my house...I will spot a tree that is aglow with the sunlight and slow down...Then I catch some sight of a backroad and I have to take it...I wind up in the mtns somewhere for hrs on end when I was just running a small errand...I loose track of time and there is never enough of it in the day...

I hate heading back to "reality" more times than not...

I am just glad that my truck is there waiting with a crazy hot heater to bring me back from hypothermia when I crawl/climb back up to it...

Oh look its a leg...

Up in the middle (yes! up and in the middle) of nowhere along an unsuspecting creek in the N. Ga mtns lies a tiny bit of heaven all secluded...

This is "my" field...I know there is a treasure waiting to be found in it...

(I don't know why, I have no clue. When I am alone in nature... My thoughts just lead to you)
