The hills were alive this spring with balsam root. I ventured out as often as possible to enjoy the profuse fields of flowers. I managed to make time in my busy life to enjoy a beautiful sunset over the fields of sunflowers. Waiting for the sun to set seemed long. It took a while for the sky to finally change color and seemed like a very slow process, but totally worth it. Truly worth the time but trying on the patience. The flowers were starting to look a little bit worn and weathered, but still so beautiful. There's something about being out in nature and enjoying a quiet moment as the sky turns brilliant color over a field of flowers, such a simple pleasure. Sometimes we need to just disconnect from life and stop and enjoy the beauty around us, drive that dirt road, absorb those beautiful sites not far from home.
Hiking is a way of life
