Backroads: The State Park
We had a lovely day yesterday on a spur-of-the-moment after church trip. The weather was sunny but chilly--a perfect day for a cosy meal and a hike! The Composer's parents agreed to meet us at the state park that's between our houses. It's on top of a mountain and has a charming lodge we had never visited:
It lay very quiet in the peace of a winter Sunday afternoon, and in the dining room we had a nice lunch. With ice cream. Then it was time to get down to business:
We started here:
And followed a beautiful trail down a very steep ridge.
A river was running at the bottom.
And we all sat down and looked . . .
. . . at this.
"There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God . . . Come, behold the works of the Lord." (Ps. 46: 4,8)

I visit your blog often if only to see your beautiful pictures. You seem to have no shortgage of wonderful projects as well. Keep on taking pictures! God bless!
Breathtaking!!! I instantly thought of the verses that boldly claim that He is our rock and shelter, a strong tower.
A mighty fortress is our God!
What state park were you at? It is beautiful. We live in East Tennessee and I wonder if it is near here. We are in search of a new road trip destination.

What beautiful pictures. My children are young but I look forward to when naps aren't needed and we can do things like that on a Sunday afternoon after church. Right now, I'll take the naps while they come, and dream through your pictures!
Thanks for letting me stop by.
What a beautiful way to spend your Sunday, I love hiking with my family!
Just beautiful!
We're still trapped indoors with snow and freezing temps here.
Come on, Spring!
