Untouched By Man

Deep in the wilderness lies a hidden lake
Fed by a stream from high on the mountain
Water cold, deep and crystal clear…
Untouched by man
Here lives the deer, the fox, the bear
Glass reflecting the proud eagle’s flight
The minnow, the trout, the beaver….
Untouched by man
Vanishing habitat but they remain unaware
Living wild and free for these precious days
Untouched by man…

May they continue to stay there untouched by man. We need this kind of thing to stay free of our interence. Lovely picture.
