I wish this picture was crisp and clear but it was the best that I could do with my phone camera. I had stupidly left my dSLR behind, and I didn’t remember it until we were halfway down a steep hill. Crossing the safety of a chain link fence, we slipped and sidled our way down until we reached the bottom and were enclosed in mountain and forest. We sat on fallen logs under a high canopy of trees with a group of 5 year olds and read a story about a tree and then walked back.

It was peaceful.
