Beach, or Mountains?

Have you played the game "this or that" or something similar by many different names? Where you ask "chocolate or vanilla"; "Brad Pitt or insert some name here" type of game?


My question  today is "Beaches, or Mountains?"


For me: beaches, definitely. Water, pond, lake, river, ocean, creek; anything with water is where I want to be. It's peaceful, spiritual, and just fulfills me on so many levels.  I grew up on a tributary of the Chesapeake bay. I could ride my bike to a local dock, catch crabs, take a boat ride, canoe, or just hang out and read a book.  It was awesome.


Years later, I find that "home" is in the middle of the woods of Central Virginia.  How did that happen? Well it did, and I'm finding the peacefulness here too. It won't ever be the same, but I do take a pretty awesome morning walk.








This is my walk, in my woods.  A wandering path, steps set into the hill,  across an old stone dam, all steps from my back yard.






I hope you enjoyed our little walk through out back yard woods....it's not the ocean, but it's pretty OK.  And it's home.
