A quick bike ride down the lake led us to one of our favorite gazing spots. We parked and climbed out onto the rocks. The sun, rising quickly, warmed our faces and beckoned us with possibilities. The wind whistled through the pines, and the waves lapped gently against the granite. The hum of a boat radio drifted in the air, breaking the silence. We sat, transfixed with the the horizon. Crystal clear, icy cold water rippled and went still. My breathing slowed and my heart expanded. Gratitude for all we have had together, and all that is before us, led us back to our bikes, eager to go home.

And that’s exactly what I did…it was definitely beautiful.
that looks heavenly and your description of the moment was fabulous. lovely.
Thanks, Christine. It’s nice to find a special place like this…
Gorgeous! This place could calm a savage beast.
I must admit, it has calmed the beast right out of me more than once!
Oh my gosh, I agree w/what everyone else is saying…even the thumbnail looked great, lol. It’s a perfect picture for a perfect spot.
Thanks, Rosey. Tahoe is really a magical place-have you ever been there?
That is absolutely gorgeous! Hope you have a great weekend. 🙂
Michelle, it was and I did…next time I go, there’s sure to be snow!
I’m so jealous of your experience and happy to have just vicariously lived it through this post. Summer is my favorite time of year, and not just because it is my recuperation period from a long and busy school year. Thankfully, fall is my second favorite time of year, so I can get over the death of summer and enjoy the crisp, colorful season to come.
Laura, I agree with you, except for me I prefer winter to fall. It gives me a chance to snuggle in and slow it down.
