Springtime At the Lake

Night falls upon the wooded lake shore, I hear Minerva’s child calling; echoes through the trees tell me that the nightlife is awake. Through my tent flap, the glimmering dance of fireflies, fills the night wood. Blue whispering waters are singing to the moon; I shiver from the frosty tweak upon my skin; gazing up at the starlight that filters through the junipers and evergreens. I look over the ensure that the fire is completely out, fresh trout is always a delight and my stomach is happy tonight. I snuggle down into my sleeping bag, my dog, Hillbilly-Blue, at my side; there’s nothing quite as refreshing and sweet as a Springtime camping trip.

It's out there. Tip, don't look with the physical eyes...use the spiritual ones, breathe in the energy and you'll see it.

G'day M.L. … could not agree more with you on what camping beside a lake or stream brings to our souls. We don't have fireflies down here, but they do fascinate me - thank you M.L. - Lindsay
