New experiences sometimes require new gear.
NEVER GIVE UP
ESCAPING THE FLATWOODS We slept in, moseyed around camp, ate breakfast and genuinely relaxed before heading out for another try at finding Bork Falls at ground level. We made it back across the creek and to the parking lot. This time though, with no other vehicle there, we noticed a narrow trail off the left … Continue reading NEVER GIVE UP
EPIC PHOTOS
What's going price for an epic photo? Have you ever been on an adventure and you know where there's this view that you can get an epic photo that you have seen a dozen times and just love. In the process of trying to get this perfect shot that you have planned out in your mind, you actually lose sight of … Continue reading EPIC PHOTOS
MANTRAS
IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED, FAKE IT! I originally wrote this post months ago and loved it. Unfortunately in my blog design conversion, I lost all the text. I do recall sharing my original mantra from my basketball years in high school, "If at first you don't succeed, fake it." I would fake a … Continue reading MANTRAS
EXPLORE FEARS AWAY

Let's dig deep for our real personal perspective here. Is it the lovely jewel-toned color that we adore or is the stem, leaves and divine bloom that attracts us? Think for a … Continue reading The Flower or the Color?
SIMPLE THINGS
NATURE'S SIMPLE THINGS OFTEN GO UNNOTICED How observant are you when you venture outside? Do you notice the simple things? We didn't always notice or appreciate them. There are still times when we are hiking that we are trying to get to a certain point at a certain time and we hike straight ahead and hardly … Continue reading SIMPLE THINGS
MAKE TIME
MAKE TIME FOR THE OUTDOORS. Be intentional in making time to get outdoors. It is too easy to get caught up in life and let life dictate your schedule. Schedule time to go hike, bike or adventure outside your way. A simple walk outside will do also. Just get out there and enjoy the beauty … Continue reading MAKE TIME
WATERFALLS
MYSTICAL, MAGICAL MASTERPIECES There is something captivating about waterfalls. They are magical to sit and watch. The sound of a waterfall is so refreshing for the senses and the soul. The larger that they are, the more intense the effect they have. Each waterfall is unique compared to the last one. Over the past few years these … Continue reading WATERFALLS
